Welcome back to the S’more Sci-Fi Book Club! This month we’re discussing a beast of a book. And, friends? We’ve got some feels about this one! We’re talking about authors with questionable ideologies. We’re talking about first contact with fierce, furry aliens. We’re saying “Fyunch(click) you!” to sexism, islamophobia, and nationalism in our precious Space Yarns. Join us in our penultimate podcast as we discuss The Mote in God’s Eye by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven. Get your own Space Typewriter and Space Yarn gear at our shop!

Welcome back to the S’more Sci-Fi Book Club! As is now tradition in the Commonwealth, we’re celebrating October by reading a lovely vintage Spook Yarn: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. We’re talking about the adorable story that is Stevenson’s life. We’re talking about a quirky detective agency fan fiction that we came up with live, during the episode. We’re talking about what we’d name our Hyde-like monster selves. This month we’re mixing things up a bit. Since our spooky pick was on the tiny side, we’ve done our entire discussion in one episode. But never you fear, Marshmallow friends! We’ve still got a second episode coming your way at the end of the month: a Halloween Special where we interview modern Sci-Fi/Horror author Caitlin Starling.
