There are friends of the Podcast and then there’s family. We’ve been talking to the great and glorious John Clute — writer, critic, encyclopedist, and more — since 2010.
Whether it’s been about events at the SF Encyclopedia, happenings in SF, or some other thing, he has always been warm, witty, and wise. Today Gary called John in Camden to talk about what he’s been reading and what he’d recommend, while also spending some time chatting about his latest collection of essays, Sticking to the End.
As always, our thanks to John for making the time. We hope you enjoy the podcast.
Depending on where you are in the world the weather is either turning chilly or it’s becoming warm and sunny, but either way, it’s not long till the end of our Advent Calendar. Today Gary talks to Naseem Jamnia about what they’ve been reading, what they’d recommend, and their exciting new novella, The Bruising of Qilwa.
As always we’d like to thank Naseem for making the time to talk to us and hope you all enjoy the episode!
John Kessel has long been a favourite of the podcast. We spoke to him in July about his major new retrospective short story collection, The Best Short Fiction of John Kessel, so it’s no real surprise that he’s part of our Advent Calendar.
Today Gary had the pleasure of calling John and chatting about what he’s been reading, what he’d recommend, and what he’s been working on. As always, we thank John for taking the time to talk to us and hope you enjoy the episode.
With a week left to go in the Advent Calendar, Jonathan sits down with Neon Yang to discuss what they’ve been reading, what they’ve read that they’d recommend, their holiday recommendations, and their exciting debut novel, space opera The Genesis of Misery!
As always, our thanks to Neon, and we hope you enjoy the episode!
The Coode Street Advent Calendar rolls on through December and today Gary sits down with Shirley Jackson and Locus Award nominee Richard Butner to discuss what he’s been reading, what he’d recommend, his holiday reads, and his wonderful new collection, The Adventurists.
As always, our thanks to Richard for making time to talk to us, and we hope you enjoy the episode.
