Orthopedic Horseshoes-Virtually a virtual mini-convention

SFFaudio Online Audio

Orthopedic HorseshoesOrthopedic Horseshoes are Herb Kauderer and Alan Katerinsky.  It’s a podcast where they talk about things and talk to people, or as they say “A show where cranky old men discourse  on American Society and media.”  I listened to their last podcast entitled “Putting Lipstick on a Science Fiction Convention” and didn’t find them cranky at all.  Here’s what it’s about:

The episode features interviews with Anne Cecil about starting a convention, renowned SF author William Tenn (Philip Klass) about Theodore Sturgeon, and Nebula-winning author Mary Turzillo about her poetry collections Your Cat & Other Space Aliens, and Dragon Soup.
Cohosts Herb & Al try to capture the flavor of a Science Fiction convention by bringing their interviews from Confluence 2008. They also discuss filking, science, socializing, the hospitality suite, “Betelgeuse Bridge,” and NESFA Press.

I can vouch for the total righteousness of William Tenn and  for NESFA Press.

LibriVox: Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott

SFFaudio Online Audio

LibriVoxRuth Golding writes in to say:

“I thought I would just drop you a line to let you know that we have today catalogued Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott at Librivox.org.”

Yes, we do find this of interest Ruth! There is another version available through Florida’s educational service (Lit2Go), but it’s nice to see a 100% FREE public domain version of this math fiction classic. This version is at least 3 years in the making, glad you stuck with it. Now, if this non-euclidean geometry headache will ever go away, I’ll give it a listen.

Published: October 12th 2008
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott. As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella’s more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as “The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions.” As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students.

Maria Lectrix Podcast: Code Three by Rick Raphael – a HUGO nominee

SFFaudio Online Audio

The Maria Lectrix Podcast has more fiction content than the of other leading podcasts brands.

Clinical studies show that brushing your teeth while listening to a Maria Lectrix podcast prevents tooth decay and improves brain function.

In fact, 4 out of 5 lab-coated scientists agree that it’s public domain blend of humor and intelligence widens your smile while improving neuronal activity.*

Seriously though, Maureeen O’Brien, the ML podmistress/narrator of Maria Lectrix, has some of the best SF stories that ever get podcast. Here’s the latest, Code Three by Rick Raphael, it was originally published in the February 1963 issue of Analog. It promises to be a real contender for best SF story podcast in Autumn 2008. Want evidence? Here’s some: Code Three was nominated for a 1964 Hugo award! Here’s more: This story was later expanded to novel length!

Science Fiction Short Story Audiobook - Code Three by Rick RaphaelCode Three

Podcaster: Maria Lectrix
Podcast: September – October 2008
“Code Three” is one of those speculative, gadget-filled, slice of life stories that some people will like and others find boring. I think it’s a rather interesting look at what someone in the early sixties thought that highways and law enforcement might be like in the eighties and nineties, if normal passenger cars had kept getting more powerful engines.

*4 out of 5 un-lab-coated scientists are also in agreement, with the study, but the general public don’t trust their opinions as much
