Science Fiction 101

Rama Drama (episode 15)


Listen Later

Colin and Phil recently found themselves reviewing Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama (1973) on another podcast - and were intrigued by a quote from author Mike Resnick, who said that James White's All Judgement Fled (1968) was "Rama done right".

What  is this other book, and why would one repsected author (Resnick)  suggest that another respected author (White) had bested yet another  respected author (Clarke)? We decided to investigate - and in this  episode of Science Fiction 101 we tell you everything we learned.

All Judgment Fled was first published in serialised form in the science fiction magazine Worlds of IF, edited by Fred Pohl, in 1967/8. IF was a sister magazine to Galaxy Science Fiction.

Also in this episode:

  • Clarkesworld publisher Neil Clarke responds to our review of his magazine!
  • a science fiction character quiz
  • Brandon Sanderson's record-breaking Kickstarter campaign
  • Alfred Hitchcock's unfilmed science fiction movie
  • We hope you enjoy the episode!
