Schocktober is back! (chain-rattle — bats bats bats bats — wolf howl) A group of adventurers undertake a quest to bury a body. How hard can it be?

Shocktober 2026, Part 1

Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kat Griffiths, and Mikah Sargent.

This week we’re covering the penultimate episode of Lanterns. We go way back and visit Hal and his Dad during little league and, it turns out, Hal just can’t let things go. Meanwhile, John makes a discovery that makes a world of a difference.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Listener Gregory makes us wonder if pizza made, not in a truck, but in a separate wood-fired oven trailer, is a food truck… or perhaps something else?

Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Steven and Erika talk about captures, costumes, and coloured rocks.

Helene Wecker’s third Golem and Jinni novel, The Gates of Midnight, is now available! Jason asks her about her multi-decade journey to get to the end of the trilogy, how research has changed along the way, the themes of the three books, and what she might do next.

(There are some mild thematic spoilers for the final book in the trilogy, but nothing too bad!)

Matt’s dad is back for a visit and, surprise surprise, he still kinda sucks. Jason gets some miles on his wheels, but romance is still pretty tricky for him. The real highlight of this episode is Landry helping Tim pass his English class. Now where did I put my Crucifictorious band shirt?

Hosts Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

In this penultimate episode of Season 4, we get quite the rollercoaster of emotions (Brian admits to crying at least 3 times); but, there’s plenty of reason to get excited, too. For one, our guest panelist, Erika Ensign, is back again! Join Chip, Erika, and Brian for the ride. In fact, why don’t you ride the bus with us to Ashton Gate to cheer on the Greyhounds?

Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Erika Ensign.

For the second time this year, we bring together some lovely, generous Kickstarter backers who helped make Uncanny Magazine Year 12 happen! The cards bring us scandals, numbers, and lots of fun!

Host Sandra Wong with Brandy Schillace.

Unlike us, Listener Jerry has spent his entire career on robots. Listener Jerry helps us understand why the term “cobot” exists, and what it really means. Thank you, Listener Jerry.
