Cliff Notes meets Happy Hour
My former roommate turned me onto this podcast, and it has really opened up the world of science fiction lit for me. The hosts have a great time speaking to books that would normally be outside my comfort zone. The podcast is changing my perspective on Sci-Fi one episode at a time, making it feel much more within reach for someone who has not traditionally been into the genre. There are points where I laugh out loud because the hosts do such a good job bringing the books to life. The simplicity and subtlety of science fiction is not lost on them and what would normally sound farcical makes broader sense as they analyze the text. Not sure yet that I am ready to take on some of these 500 page books, but will certainly continue to listen to understand the genre further as they break down the classics and contextualize why they deserve to be literary classics. As a novice I find real joy in these podcasts but I like to think even seasoned Sci-Fi vets can find value and enjoyment.

I’m getting back into books (my favorite genre has always been sci fi) and a lot of the books I’m considering buying have been reviewed throughout the show. This is also an attempt to challenge myself to build my first personal library
