The Sci Phi Show interviews Science Fiction author Robert J. Sawyer

The Sci Phi Show, has an exclusive interview with Hugo and Nebula award winning author Robert J. Sawyer. I got a chance to hear the half-hour interview early and it’s a real cracker! Jason and Rob talk about Rob’s newest novel, Rollback, the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, and its relationship to the writing of Golden Fleece. Ever wonder what sciences influence an authors works? Rob expounds on the origins of many of his novels, how he likes to bridge the “grandly cosmic” and the “intimately human.” Rob even confides about which is his favorite of his many novels. This is probably the most exciting guest Jason’s had on his show, and if you haven’t been listening he’s had some weighty philosophers on.

The Sonic Society gets ghoulish with Afterhell

Online Audio

The latest Sonic Society podcast, likely inspired to start the Octobery frights early, is proud to present: Afterhell…

All over the world, civilization has fallen. Cities burn with lunacy and brimstone. Science can’t explain it. Faith can’t account for it. The human race is under attack from its own shadows, sins, and deepest fears. The survivors face a surreal existence where only the darkest dreams come true. No one is safe. And everyone is on trial.

Silent Universe creator speaks out – Episode 4 releases Sunday

SFFaudio Online Audio

Episode 4 of J. Marcus Xavier’s Silent Universe will beam-out this Sunday. I expect you already know that this show is “Interactive,” having a “choose your own adventure” element. And that fans can participate directly in the story development process, working with the production team by offering critiques and suggestions in the online forums (and via a new companion podcast). But did you know anything about the man behind the show? I thought not! Here’s a bit…

I spotted J. Marcus Xavier, in a flickr photo! That’s him seated beside Sheila Unwin from Dragon Page: With Class at the Portable Media Expo. Did you know Xavier is a Christian? Did you know he recently contributed a segment to an interesting Meme Therapy‘s posting called Science Fiction’s Ethical Dilemmas Pt. 1. …

“With the Silent Universe, I try to strike (an admittedly uncomfortable) middle-ground, in that humans in this future sometimes throw around racial epithets . . . things that people might joke about when they are with friends or family (of their own racial group) but would never say in public. Largely, people in the Silent Universe will not get offended if such comments are voiced; this sometimes throws listeners off, because there’s ‘supposed’ to be another character who chimes in and says ‘‘Hey!’ or ‘Watch your mouth’ or ‘You’re such a jack-ass’ and it never happens. This is not meant to offend, but just to reflect a different kind of sensibility toward racial issues that exists in a future where people still struggle. If it causes a little controversy, but that controversy leads to discussion, then I can live with it.”
