If This Goes On (Don't Panic): Science Fiction, Fantasy & Progressive Politics

Since quarantine has started for the responsible folk, we decided to help ease the boredom by doing a live show every week on Tuesday at 4:30pm EST. Please join us for the next one!

This week we are joined by Zig Zag Claybourne, author of The Brothers Jetstream: Leviathan, and Mab Morris, author of The Bone Reader. We discuss Tarot reading, Afrofuturism, and the Hugo Finalists.

Please keep in mind the audio is not up to its usual quality because of the live stream and lack of editing.

Episode 2. In this episode, Alan and Cat interview Tobias Buckell at Confluence, an SFF conference that takes place in Pittsburgh.

We discuss Cli-Fi, climate change, and Priuses in the apocalypse..
