Having spent the past three weeks traveling (where his microphone disappeared in-transit), a heavily jetlagged Jonathan contacted Gary in Chicago to discuss the San Diego World Fantasy Convention, traveling, Amazon.com, and a number of other things.  Our apologies if Jonathan’s heavily jetlagged state led to a more garbled than usual discussion. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast, and will see you next week!

Note: If you have subscribed to The Coode Street Podcast via iTunes we’d like to encourage you to swap from our old link to the new official Podbean-hosted The Coode Street Podcast link. I’ve been cross-posting over the past few months, but plan to discontinue that and only post to the Podbean link in the next few weeks.

Publishing podcasts from the iPad seems to be too much of a challenge, and I seem to have misposted the ep. with Stan Robinson. With apologies for possible duplication, here it is in a clean re-post. I’d also recommend re-subscribing via Podbean which would fix the problem.

At the recent World Science Fiction Convention held in Reno, Nevada we sat down with Kim Stanley Robinson to discuss his new novel, 2312.

At the recent WorldCon in Reno, Gary and I sat down to chat with Alastair Reynolds about, among other things, his new novel, Blue Remembered Earth.
