The Coode Street Podcast is a full service podcast. While Gary and Jonathan are on vacation, we asked long-time listener Cat Sparks to select some classic episodes that we could send out to entertain and enlighten in their absence.
Next up are brilliant short story writer Robert Shearman, and living legend Howard Waldrop, who spoke to Gary and Jonathan in July 2013 live from  Readercon 24 in Boston.
We hope you enjoy the podcast and our thanks to Cat!
The Coode Street Podcast is a full service podcast. While Gary and Jonathan are on vacation, we asked long-time listener Cat Sparks to select some classic episodes that we could send out to entertain and enlighten in their absence.
First up is Graham Joyce, who Gary and Jonathan spoke to back in November 2012. At the time Graham’s novel Some Kind of Fairy Tale has just been released. It went on to win the British Fantasy Award this November in Brighton, and was followed by new novel The Year of the Ladybird.

Neil Gaiman is always wonderful to sit down and talk to about how great stories are created and is always ready to discuss how the great writers of the past have influenced him and his work.
During an extra special episode of the Coode Street Podcast, Neil joins Gary and Jonathan in a rare quiet moment at the Brighton World Fantasy Convention, to discuss the work of the late great R.A. Lafferty.
Lafferty is one of fiction’s great originals, a teller of tall and extraordinary tales that puzzle and delight. The timing for this conversation was perfect, with the first volume of The Collected Stories of R.A. Lafferty just about to appear from Centipede Press.
We would like to thank Neil for making time in what was an incredibly busy schedule for this conversation and thank you all for supporting the podcast during 2013. This is the final Coode Street episode for 2013. We’ll be back in late January with more endless rambling. Till then, safe and happy holidays to you all!!
This October the Coode Street commentary team travelled to Brighton, England for the 2013 World Fantasy Convention. In amongst too much drinking and late night conversation, they managed to record two engaging conversations for your enjoyment. The first of these was with long-time Coode Street favourite, Paul McAuley.

Over the period of about an hour, while hotel airconditioning worked hard to overcompensate for a mild UK autumn, hard science fiction, the state of science and much, more was discussed. Our sincere thanks to Paul for his time.

As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. Next week: Neil Gaiman discusses R.A. Lafferty.
I have just delivered my latest project! For the past year I have been working away on a special issue of Subterranean Magazine for Bill Shafer and Subterranean Press. I love Subterranean and feel incredibly lucky to have been invited to edit a second issue of the magazine. Â There’s still a little work to do on the issue, which features an anthology’s worth of new original science fiction and fantasy stories, but here’s the table of contents!
- The Scrivener, Eleanor Arnason
- Bit Players, Greg Egan
- The Prelate’s Commission, Jeffrey Ford
- Nanny Anne and the Christmas Story, Karen Joy Fowler
- Hayfever, Frances Hardinge
- Caligo Lane, Ellen Klages
- I Met a Man Who Wasn’t There, KJ Parker
- Pilgrims of the Round World, Bruce Sterling
The issue, which I think will be the Winter 2014 issue, is due out in early January. I’m searching for some cover art for it at the moment!
