Tales From The Bridge

Joining us on the bridge this week are fan favourites; Peter Watts and Richard K. Morgan. It’s not everyday that you get this kind of twofer, and this conversation goes there. So much so, that we had to break it into two parts. So lots of doubles happening here.

Either way, here are two sci-fi authors who should be in the same room together more often. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Keep an eye out for part 2 in a couple of weeks.

In this episode, we sit down with Fantasy author, R.R. Virdi. We discuss The First Binding, along with his latest work. We get into comparative fiction and mythology through a South Asian lens. This takes us into language and storytelling with a South Asian frame narrative. We also discuss his latest foray into Science Fiction and the Space Opera, Shepherd of Light.

In this episode, we discuss The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin, and things get grim. In Science Fiction - Science Fact we also look at alien life, the Ferme paradox, and the notion of evolutionary filters that limit the longevity of civilizations - which is why they aren't calling. A new study applies all of this to Artificial Intelligence, and it's worth a listen. We'll set aliens and doom aside to chat about what we've been up to in books, film, and even some travel. We also pick our next book of the month; spoiler -  it's a nice departure for us.

In this episode, we chat with Science Fiction literary icon, Robert Silverberg. Named to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 1999, Robert has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. A list of his writing credits would be too long to list here, but chances are excellent that you've read his work in some form.  As an alumnus of the Golden Science Fiction era, he has incredible stories to share, and we got to scratch the surface during his visit to The Bridge.

We're excited to have Wes Ball join us on the bridge. Wes is the director of newest addition to the Planet of the Apes franchise, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Wes tells us about adapting the graphic novels of David Peterson's Mouse Guard for the screen and his experience creating animated shorts that lead to his film directing career. We talk about computerized apes, regular humans and a bunch more.

Alright, let's make our way over to the bridge!

In this episode, we sit down with Kate Trefry, one of the writers who worked closely with the Duffer Brothers to bring Netflix's Stranger Things to the screen.  Now she has brought the Stranger Things lore to the stage with The First Shadow, now playing in London, UK, soon to be on Broadway. Kate tells us about her path to working on Stranger Things eight years ago, to writing the final episodes and adapting a new story for the theatre. Kate is fun and hilarious to chat with. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

In this episode, we sit down with fantasy and sci-fi author, Rebecca Thorne. We cover a lot of fun stuff and dive into topics like 'Cozy Fantasy', and her Tomes and Tea series. We also look at her 5 Sentence Method for aspiring authors (also a great read) and find out how she uses her ADHD as a writing superpower. She is on a book tour this spring, so be sure to check out her site to see if she'll be at a bookstore near you! Link below.

 On this episode of TFTB we review The Expanse - the whole series, by James S.A. Corey.  We are big fans of these novels, and the show, so if you're into the Expanse, or happen to be Expanse-curious, this is the episode for you.  We also challenge the idea that Mars is the best planetary neighbour for colonization, and circle back to Karl Schroeder's argument for Venus.  We'll also share what other sci-fi books, comics, and shows that we're enjoying such as Dune Part 2 and G.I Joe . As always, hang on to the end to find out what our next book of the month is.
