Episode 102: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! | With the sun slowly setting over the Coode Street Motel 6, Gary and I headed for the Waldorf Room to record episode 102 of the podcast. For the first time in two years we had show notes, we had plans, and we had news: surely nothing could go wrong! Surely! We had much to discuss: * the Nebula Awards winners (http://www.locusmag.com/News/2012/05/2011-nebula-awards-winners/), which had just been announced; * feedback from Cheryl Morgan (http://www.cheryl-morgan.com/?p=13851) on Episode 101 and whether women write rigorous SF; * gender and whether the gender of the author affects how we perceive the genre of their work; * and more! Really. For those seeking show notes, we did discuss all of the above, along with mention of the Tiptree Centenary (time to start planning!), Gary's upcoming attendance at Wiscon and Readercon, and other stuff. However, this is the Coode St Podcast. It soon became clear Gary had not *read* the show notes, that we couldn't fit in everything we'd planned and...well, we did the best we could. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. Next week, Wiscon! | 20 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 101: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! | From high atop the Coode Street Motel Six, deep in the Waldorf Room, Gary and I fired up the podcasting equipment to bring you episode 101 where, finally, we come to an appreciation of which convention we correspond to, while discussing the recently released Campbell Memorial Award ballot, the SF Hall of Fame, and other things. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. | 12 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 100: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! | It's our 100th episode and our 2nd Anniversary! Bereft of even so much as a good champagne-cork-popping sound effect we discuss the podcast, the recently announced Locus Awards ballot, consensus in science fiction and who is the new Dean of Science Fiction, and touch on what we've been reading lately. We had all sorts of grandiose plans for the 100th episode, but in the end it's just the two of us, rambling. We do want to thank all of our listeners, guests, commentators and friends - anyone who's said anything nice about the podcast at all - for your enthusiasm and support. That's what will get us through the next 100 episodes! | 4 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 91: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! | Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Dirda recently reviewed Keith Roberts' magestic novel, Pavane, in The Washington Post, describing it as a fix-up novel, a term coined by the late A.E. van Vogt. The review sparked a conversation about fix-ups, what they are and where the term comes from, and how terminology forms in the SF field. It's digressive, unresearched, and un-factchecked, but at least it's not talking about awards. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. | 3 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 82: Live with Gary K.

On a serious note, we would like to deeply and sincerely thank everyone who appeared as a guest, commented on the blog, tweeted or blogged about the podcast, voted or nominated it for an award, said something nice about the podcast in passing in an elevator or at the bar - basically, everyone who has responded to it in any way. This first full year of podcasting has been a constant joy, surprise and delight and we'd like to thank all of the Coode St Community and wish you all a safe and happy celebration and the best year ever for 2012 (except for Mayans, who might be in for a bit of a torrid time). | 30 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 81: The Second Annual Boxing Day Super Mega Podcast | As we observed last year, the day after Christmas is a special one, dedicated to winding down after a day of feasting and gift giving, laughter and merriment. Things slow down â unless you have a taste for the mega-discount sales â and people tend to relax with family. This morning, Perth time, at least, a bunch of participants in Australian podcasting joined together to record The Second Annual Boxing Day Super Mega Podcast. Participating were: * Alex, Alisa, and Tansy from Galactic Suburbia (http://www.galactisuburbia.podbean.com/); * Ian and Kirstyn from The Writer and the Critic (http://writerandcritic.posterous.com/); and * Gary and I from The Coode St Podcast (../the-coode-street-podcast/). Sadly, Grant from Bad Film Diaries (http://badfilmdiaries.podbean.com/) couldn't make. What we ended up with was seven seven people talking, in a fairly organised manner about their highlights of 2011 and what theyâre looking forward to in 2012. Because I was doing the engineering for this there was a stuff up and the first 20 minutes of the podcast were lost forever. Alex and I did a quick do-over and new intro which we think works pretty well. Either way, we all hope you enjoy it, and that you check out our individual podcasts which will be coming out in coming weeks and months. PS: While this is not an episode of The Coode St Podcast proper, it counts as episode 81 as far as we're concerned :) | 26 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Disch, Michael Bishop and Zenna Henderson, sport in science fiction and fantasy, the delicate balance between literature and science in hard SF, and many other things. Gary and I would like to thank Ian for joining us, and I'd like to make it clear, personally, that I was only joking about Alisa and the knitting needles.

Episode 53: Live with Gary K. Wolfe and Karen Lord! | Last weekend Crawford Award-winning novelist Karen Lord (http://merumsal.wordpress.com/) joined Gary and I live from an undisclosed location in the Caribbean (well, when we say 'undisclosed' a LOT of frogs and just a few motorcycles seemed to know just where Karen was at the time) to discuss the impact of cultural perceptions on fantasy, her novel Redemption in Indigo (http://smallbeerpress.com/books/2010/07/06/redemption-in-indigo-2/), and a handful of other things. Â We experienced a few recording dropouts (for which we apologise), but Skype struggled to link Perth, Chicago and the Caribbean and did its very best. We hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it. As to this coming weekend, well Gary's at Wiscon so we have some plans for coming weeks that we think should be a lot of fun.

Episode 52: Live with Gary K. Wolfe and Liza Groen Trombi! | This morning (Perth time) the Science Fiction Writers of America (http://www.sfwa.org/) gathered in Washington DC to present the Nebula Awards. The ceremony was videocast (see it here (http://www.sfwa.org/2011/05/watch-the-nebula-awards-ceremony-live/)) and the winners were announced to festive celebration (results are here (http://www.locusmag.com/News/2011/05/2010-nebula-awards-winners/)). In the immediate aftermath Gary and I asked Locus (http://www.locusmag.com/)editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi to join us in the pod to discuss the Nebulas, the winners, what happened to the Grand Master award, and other fun stuff. We hope you enjoy it, as always! I should also report that this was one of two podcasts we recorded this weekend. In the other one, likely published next weekend, we chatted with the wonderful Karen Lord (http://merumsal.wordpress.com/) about all sorts of interesting stuff. See you then!

Episode 51: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! | With birthday celebrations now receding into the past (no baked goods were harmed in the recording of this podcast), Gary and I turn our attention once more to matters at hand. The Locus Awards nominees (http://www.locusmag.com/News/2011/05/2011-locus-award-finalists/) have been announced, so we discuss the usefulness of awards, how 2010 looks in retrospect, and how 2011 looks from here (with specific mention of China Mieville's Embassytown, Greg Egan's Clockwork Rocket, Michael Swanwick's Dancing with Bears, Nnedi Okorafor's Akata Witch, and Jo Walton's Among Others), and I set Gary a reviewing challenge. We hope you enjoy it, as always! PS: Yes, we know it's ridiculously long! Sorry. We'll do better next time. Probably. No. Really. Well, possibly. | 13 5 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 46: Live with Gary K. Wolfe, Farah Mendlesohn, and Tansy Rayner Roberts | In last week's episode Gary and I discussed the work of the late Diana Wynne Jones. Our discussion raised comments from several people that we'd not done justice to Jones, and so we invited Farah Mendlesohn (http://www.farahsf.com/) (author of Diana Wynne Jones: Children's Literature and the Fantastic Tradition) and author and critic Tansy Rayner Roberts (http://tansyrr.com/) to join us to discuss Jones' work, legacy and place in the science fiction and fantasy field.

Episode 43: Live with Gary K. Wolfe, Karen Burnham, Jeffrey Ford, and Liza Groen Trombi | Convention season is upon us and, on the eve of his birthday, Gary K. Wolfe has ventured out into aligator-infested Florida in search of conversation, con-buddies and, above all else, boat drinks! In the first of what might just be a series of one podcasts, Gary invited Locus Publications (http://www.locusmag.com/) editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi, editor and critic Karen Burnham (http://spiralgalaxyreviews.blogspot.com/), and award winning author Jeffrey Ford (http://jeffford2010.livejournal.com/)(visiting from the wilds of New Jersey) to sit down and join us in a fairly impromptu and rambling podcast. Starting without an agenda (or in truth any kind of plan at all) we discuss science fiction criticism and the search for the modern essay, the digital age, Locus online, awards seasons, Reza Negarestani's Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials, The Secret Life of Laird Barron, and the forthcoming Key West Literary Seminar (http://www.kwls.org/)(it's about the literature of the future this time out). As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast (http://media18.podbean.com/pb/e2952ddbc9b75d582309040e71f1861f/4d8425d7/blogs18/285446/uploads/audioblog0053.mp3)!

Martin's Dance, the Kindle, the iPad, thrillers vs. science fiction, self-publishing, ICFA, and throw in a bit of digital waffle. This is the last podcast before Gary heads off for his 65th birthday (!), so we hope you enjoy it.

We got to discussing (http://www.jonathanstrahan.com.au/podcasts/audioblog0047.mp3) all sorts of things like recommended reading lists and such, then something at Gary's end went pffft! We resumed on a landline, but the quality does drop out somewhat about half way through. Our sincere apologies for that. We hope it will all be back to normal for #38 next week.

It also will be my 12th wedding anniversary this coming Monday, so we celebrate tonight. Against a background of all of this happy news, Gary and I jumped into the pod (http://www.jonathanstrahan.com.au/podcasts/audioblog0044.mp3) to discuss slippage, why I hate the term 'specfic' and lots and lots of other stuff (including the happy news of our BSFA Award nomination and why Adam Roberts deserves chocolate, or at least a good stiff drink).

Gary and I jumped (well strolled) into the pod without any set plans on what to discuss and ended up talking about L. Ron Hubbard, movies, Fringe, the evils (or inconveniences) of PDFs, and lots of other stuff. On a serious note, we also discussed Tehani Wessely's After the Flood Queensland Flood ebook. Please do support it, and the Queensland flood victims, by donating $A10.00 and getting a copy of the ebook.

Boxing Day Super Mega Podcast | Here in Australia the day after Christmas is a special one, dedicated to winding down after a day of feasting and gift giving, laughter and merriment. Things slow down - unless you have a taste for the mega-discount sales - and people tend to relax with family. This morning, Perth time, at least, a bunch of participants in Australian podcasting joined together to record a Boxing Day Super Mega Podcast (http://www.jonathanstrahan.com.au/podcasts/audioblog0040.mp3).

Customer Reviews
A conversation about science fiction books & publishing
This podcast is essentially an ongoing conversation between editor/anthologist Jonathan Strahan and academic/reviewer Gary K. Wolfe, with occasional special guests. If you are interested in science fiction and fantasy books, publishing, and the history of the science fiction field, I highly recommend it. It's rather like eavesdropping on a conversation with people who are knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about the science fiction genre, and whose discussions offer an intriguing mix of professional knowledge, insider anecdotes and personal observations. Topics can include anything from awards nominations, what they're looking forward to reading, what makes a good anthology, which classic books you *don't* have to read, science fiction criticism, multicultural voices in genre fiction, bookselling, what "young adult" fiction means, ebooks, trends, the death of SF (or not), and a whole lot more.
An interesting meander
Presented by Jonathan Strahan and Gary K. Wolfe, with the occasional guest. Each podcast usually contains speculative fiction news and general discussion about the field, with both an Australian (Jonathan) and US (Gary) perspective. I'd probably describe the format as long discussions which don't seem to be following a run sheet too closely and are all the more informative because of it. Both presenters are very knowledgable about the history of the field and often put interesting context around modern trends that I don't hear elsewhere.
They often note that they are rambling, but I always find it an interesting meander.
