Long title, I know. But this has been a while coming. I've had to rethink and re-evaluate how I want to do this. I'll leave earlier more ad-hoc episodes up if only for comparison's sake, but I want to switch to a more scripted and less chaotic style. There are a number of concepts that have rattled around one way or another for the next set of episodes for my one-person podcast where I talk about things, and occasionally read short stories. I don't know exactly WHEN the new episodes will start appearing, as it will take longer due to needing to actually write and research the things. But I want to start getting them out by May/June this year, and between six and twelve episodes if everything goes to plan.
Here's a preview for anyone interested of a few things I'll likely be talking about or doing.
*The romanticizing of terrible futures: This is a bit of a potentially hot topic now, with Russia being Russia, China being China, and America becoming something horrible. Mech wars. Dystopias. Cyberpunk. Grimdark. Aren't they supposed to be a warning, not a template?
*Looking back at my writing journey from scribbling in an exercise book to...being published. Yikes.
*A short story from one of the classic older authors. I've done Lovecraft, Wells, Porges. Might try someone else now.
*Research books. They are important, and they aren't necessarily all non-fiction. Battle Royale anyone?
*Something of mine. Maybe a sample from an upcoming work, perhaps one of my pieces of short fiction. Depends.
*A writer and fan's perspective deep dive into a fictional universe I have deep knowledge or direct experience or. Or maybe more than one to compare and contrast. Whichever, expect both praise and critiques.
