SF3 episodes
- SF3-096: Red Team BluesSalted hash! We review and discuss "Red Team Blues" by Cory Doctorow. We also go into too much technical detail on things, air controversial opinions on sandwich cookies, and get way too philosophical about names.46 min
- SF3-095: Nine Princes In Amber
Morganstern! We review and discuss "Nine Princes In Amber" by Roger Zelazny. We also go a bit into the background of the book, wax kind of zelasnyish about Zelazny's prose, and try way too hard to link things to quantum mechanics.
