Tales From The Bridge

In this episode, Sam and Tristan sit down with Ryka Aoki to talk art, music, writing, and personal journeys. Ryka is a poet, composer, teacher, and novelist. If you enjoyed  ‘Light From Uncommon Stars’  you’ll be as excited as we are about this one. 

‘Light From Uncommon Stars’ was an Alex, and Otherwise Award winner, and a finalist for the Hugo, Locus, and Ignyte Awards. You can check out our review of "Light From Uncommon Stars" in Episode 74 of TFTB.  Ryka is also a two-time Lambda Literary Award finalist for her collections “Seasonal Velocities” and “Why Dust Shall Never Settle Upon This Soul” and her first novel, “He Meela A Hilo,” was called one of the “10 Best Books Set in Hawaii” by Bookriot.

In this episode, we review Christopher Paolini's first significant foray into the Sci-fi genre: To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. We also consider what it might be like to live in an asteroid with self-replicating robot friends as company.  Strange, we know... but someone has devised a way to do it, and it's pretty cool. We also chat about what we're watching and reading if you're looking for recommendations.

 In this episode, we sit down with a fan favourite.  Our listeners already know Andy Weir as the author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary.  We chat about getting books made into movies, how to create a believable alien, and his latest work; Project Hail Mary.  Andy also reveals some Easter eggs for the first time, so be sure to hang out to the end for that. We had a lot of fun with Andy, and we’re sure you’re going to like this one.

Annnnd we're back! After taking a hiatus this summer, we're ready to launch our 3rd season - and we have some great interviews in store for you.  In this episode, we've got Science Fiction - Science Fact, we share what we've been reading over the summer, we review Kurt Vonnegut's second novel, The Sirens of Titan (Spoiler: Sam managed to upset Tristan with his review), and we reveal our next book of the month.

We also have a special segment for you at the end of the show; in August, we attended  FanExpo Canada and met some cool people who shared their fantasy, and sci-fi recommendations. Be sure to check it out!

Listeners of TFTB could always use a little more Peter Watts. And because Neill Blomkamp's new film, Gran Turismo, opens this week -  here is the extended recording.

The original release of this episode was 8/21/2021

We sit down with Hollywood Director, Producer, Writer and Animator, Neill Blomkamp, and Hard-Sci-fi author Peter Watts. For this grand meeting of the minds, we cover space vampires, human extinction, the justification for sentience, and discover how a little bit of solipsism can lead to murder.

Make sure to check out Oats Studios, for great online content from Neill Blomkamp.

Correction* Episode is not quite twice as long as the original edit.

As we wrap our second season, we reflect on our favourite moments of the year. We had 27 guests on the show; authors, a few scientists, and even a couple who may have played one on TV.  We will share our highlights and some indelible moments. We also talk about some of our favourite books from season 2 and preview what's to come in the fall.

In this episode, we look at the problem of artificial gravity and a creative solution to the problem. We also have some beach reads for your Summer reading list and our next book of the month.

We then travel back to the year 2000 to review Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. This is the first novel of what would become a highly regarded series that helped redefine the scope of just how vast a space opera could be. This series helped shape the genre as we know it today - so be sure to check out the review.
