This isn't what it used to be.
The podcast was great until Ciaran O'Carroll left. He was the real sci-fi buff and while the conversations always meandered between the two of them, it wasn't just one person randomly talking about whatever he thought of. Additionally, Tony tends to talk about his personal life for upwards of five minutes at the beginning of the show until enough people complain. I hope Tony gets someone else to come on the show. The reason I give this four stars now is because it has started including some stellar short stories. The podcast now comes out twice a week, with a story on Wednesday and the usual show on Saturday. Recently (winter 2008), all five of the nominations for best short story for the BSFA were featured.Read full review »

Been listening for some time now. It's getting better all the time with more small informative segments on different aspects of Sci-Fi. For an avid Sci-Fi reader theres great background on current and historical fiction as well as really great readings of short stories. Give it a go.

A great grand collection off interviews with the cream of fantasy and science fiction, as well as the occasional writing forum, story collection, and narrated fiction. It's the place to go to hear the likes of Cory Doctorow, Neil Gaiman and more discuss their work.Read full review »
