Each month we select a speculative fiction book, read it, and talk about it. Early in the month we'll post a pre-read episode with context about the book, the author, its place in SF fandom, and anything else you might want to know before you read. Towards the end of the month, we'll post an episode discussing the book in-depth: the character, plot, themes, politics, and philosophy of the novel. In between, we might post some shorter episodes about other topics in the SF publishing world. We hope you enjoy!
