Get The Devolutionist by Homer Eon Flint as a podcast novel

SFFaudio Online Audio

Maria Lectrix is a prolific podcast by Maureen O’Brien. Maureen is always narrating multiple audiobooks at the same time, and recently she’s added another public domain Science Fiction novel to her already rich feed. The original publication date for this one was 1921, but most people who know it will remember it from the 1965 Ace double novel release.

The Devolutionist by Homer Eon Flint is the third in a series of four Dr. Kinney stories by Flint, but stands well on its own. The novel also gives you a brief précis of the first two Dr. Knney adventures, in case you’re still worried about starting in the middle of a series. The story uses a scientific telepathy device to carry it’s four protagonists to faraway places. Completion of the audiobook is a ways away yet but we’ve got companionable art to pique your interest…

Sci-Phi Show talks Philosophy of Science with Bill DeSmedt

SFFaudio Online Audio

In what appears likely to be another series of interviews that will make another podiobook someday The Sci Phi Show podcast is following up from its “Philosophy of Science” show from last week by speaking to SFFaudio Essential winning author Bill DeSmedt. Host Jason Rennie talks with Bill about The Vurdalak Conjecture and how it plays a role in his novel, Singularity. Tied into this interview, Jason tells me, you can look for what should be a fascinating interview with physicist Lee Smolin in a couple of days. The two interviews will compliment each other as Smolin is probably going to be talking about The Trouble with Physics, his non-fiction book which is critical of string theory. I love it when a confluence of Science and Science Fiction meets in one podcast. You can download the Bill DeSmedt interview show |MP3| or subscribe to the podcast and get the whole series via this link:
