  • Ditch Diggers #80

    We recorded this a month ago and then the hammer of deadlines fell. 

    We come to you from Jody Foster's Gorilla Preservation, and talk about how, if you want to make a career, you are not the one story you're in love with. 

    We talk about Wonder Boys.

  • Ditch Diggers #077: 20 Min Ditch: Just Jetpacks

    The 20-Minute Ditch returns! Time is the fire in which we burn! In this new mini-episode Matt and Mur talk about inventing science fiction and how it's just people plus robots plus jet packs. More seriously, they talk about how "literary" authors offering "serious takes" on SF is reductive and harmful to SF authors and the field in general, and the result that attitude has on how books are marketed and sold.
