Why we think Amazon may have been cribbing off us, the reality TV connection to ancient Greece, and the raging 2X audiobook debate speeds along.

A database of all the stories, Stranger Things enters the tie-in book world, a debate about speed-listening, and what Veronica REALLY thinks about Zeus.

We’re very excited about the Expanse coming back and Gail Carriger’s plans and that the “What are we drinking” segment got a good review! Plus the different takes on mythology from our two latest book picks.

Brian McClellan joins us to talk about his latest book, Wrath of Empire (second book in the Gods of Blood and Powder series). Plus we find out why he may not want to time travel, and what his writing kryptonite is!

So many awards! Locus, Scribe, Parsec, oh my! Plus why we think maybe it’s OK to read the 21 books you shouldn’t read, and we kick off Tanith Lee’s amazing Night’s Master.

Have you ever walked into a book store and just froze? Us too. We’ll talk you through it. Plus we announced the May book pick and Tanith Lee fans will be happy! Because it’s by Tanith Lee! Also the wrap-up for We Are Legion (We are Bob).

We are SO excited to be nominated for the Hugos! Thank you! Also the return of the Expanse and why Amazon will spend $1 billion on a Middle Earth show.

The March tournament was so much fun, and in the end we’ll read We Are Legion (We Are Bob) which is an appropriately fun book. We also talk about other podcasts that are cool to listen to, plus our last thoughts on the beautiful complexity of An Unkindness of Ghosts.

More Pratchett TV coming, and more Rothfuss books?  Plus more deep discussion about an Unkindness of Ghosts, including why blurbs may lead you astray.

Tom tries to convince Veronica to fight hate, but A Wrinkle In Time has her questioning love’s power.
