After years of exploring the World of Dreams, Joe, Jen, and Tom are opening a new chapter. Introducing Shelf to Screen, the podcast that dissects the journey of sci-fi and fantasy stories from the library shelf to the silver screen.

From the sands of Arrakis to the shores of Westeros, we’re diving deep into the adaptations that define the genre. We’ll explore what was lost in translation, what found new life on camera, and—most importantly—whether the book was actually better.
