One quick thing:  we mention in the episode that one of the segments still has the split audio.  It doesn’t.  I managed to de-split the audio, so there are no split-audio sections.  We didn’t have time to re-record. Without further delay, here it is.  Enjoy (notes are below): Episode Two — Download (MP3) Our question of the week is: Who are some of your favorite new science fiction writers and why?  (“New” means a writer who began publishing novels in the last ten years.) Let us know in the comments, or send us an email or a voicemail to the locations listed in the sidebar or on the Contact page. Intro Discussion (0:00 – 24:45): Gav’s posts about SF Signal’s Mind Melds and the Old Fogies of SF:  first, second, and third. SF Signal’s Mind Melds:  part one and part two. News (24:46 – 49:19): China Mievill is writing a space opera novel! The Literary Terrorist. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea gets two movie treatments. 7 (stupid) genre shows coming this fall. The Main Event (49:20 – 1:01:13): So What is the Literary Life Like? (M.D. Lachlan’s post) The End (Books and Things)(1:01:13 – 1:18:23): Spar by Kij Johnson. And that’s all, folks! Thanks for listening!
