Orson Scott Card’s October essay is available over on Audible.com. His subject this month is Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s Sirens Of Titan!
“The job that science fiction is supposed to make us rethink reality, make us live in a different universe”
You can check it out on the site itself, or simply listen direct |MP3|. Sirens Of Titan is literary fiction using SF set-dressing – Card promises we’ll love it, even when we hate it.

Tank Riot is one of those crossover podcasts, semi-topical, and stylized über-cool (topics that are alternatively mainstream and slightly off-kilter). The hosts, Sputnik, Viktor, and Tor, out of Madison, Wisconsin, are provocative in their anonymity. They’ve covered everything from Nichola Tesla to recumbent bicycles and Iran. Along the way they’ve talked a few topics you may be interested in.
