With December and the Advent Calendar heading towards their conclusion, Gary and Jonathan chat with recently minted Hugo Award winner Ray Nayler about what he’s been reading, what he’s been working on, his recent novel Where the Axe is Buried and his upcoming novel, Palaces of the Crow, before talking about ghost stories and year end traditions.
As always, we’d like to thank Ray for making time to talk to us, and hope you enjoy the conversation.
It’s Day 17 of our Advent Calendar and today Gary and Jonathan chat with Alastair Reynolds about the 25th Anniversary of Revelation Space, his new short story collections, and his latest novel, Halcyon Years.
We also touch on his favourite books of the year, what he’s planning, and his favourite seasonal reads.
As always, our thanks to Al. We hope you enjoy today’s episode.
It’s been a minute since we last spoke to Kim Stanley Robinson on the podcast, back in 2020 when The Ministry for the Future was new in the world. So today, Gary and Jonathan took some time to chat with Stan as part of the Advent Calendar about what he’s been doing (a lot), what he’s been reading (a lot!), and what he has coming up.
Our discussion touched on first major nonfiction book, 2022’s The High Sierra: A Love Story, his forthcoming nonfiction book The Best Journey in the World, and the fabulous news that he’s hard at work on a new novel.
As always, our thanks to Stan for making time to talk to us. We hope you all enjoy the discussion.
For the 15th day of our Advent Calendar Gary chats with Nebula and five-time Hugo Award winner Michael Swanwick about what he’s been reading, how he celebrates the holiday season, what he’s had out in the past year and his exciting new short story collection The Universe Box.
As always, we’d like to thank Michael for making time to talk to us. We hope you enjoy the episode.
For the 14th day of Advent, Jonathan is joined by Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Award nominated writer, Wole Talabi, to discuss the books he’s been reading, what he’d recommend, his brand new novella “Descent” and the Sauútiverse, and his forthcoming second novel, The Fist of Memory.
As always, our thanks to Wole for taking the time to talk to us. We hope you all enjoy the chat.
