CONvergence Ho! Call for Interviewees (Fans, Creators, Everyone!)
In less than a month, Paul Weimer, Mike Underwood, and Shaun Duke will be at CONvergence in Minneapolis, the City of Flower and Sawdust, the City of Lakes, the Mini Apple, one half of the Twin Cities. Woo! A few years ago, we conducted over a dozen interviews and discussions at CONvergence using a handy portable recorder and a partially reconstituted talking gerbil. We’d like to do something similar again in 2016! That’s where you come in. If you’re a fan, a creator (author, comic artist, whatever), or something else entirely, we’d like to talk to you! And that means you have to send us an email (skiffyandfanty[at]gmail[dot]com) with the subject line “CONvergence Podcast.” Here’s what we’re planning to record:
Torture Cinema Poll #2 for 2016: What should we watch next?
You know the drill! Vote away.
Torture Cinema Poll for February 2016: What should we watch next?
The new season begins soon, and that means more Torture Cinema! We haven’t asked you to vote since before our Childhood Destruction editions of the TC feature. Now, we’re back to the listener-voted format. You know the drill. VOTE! As always, if you want to suggest a movie for us to discuss on this feature or Shoot the WISB, a topic for general discussion, a guest to include, and so on, you can let us know on our Suggest a Topic page!
2016 Season Begins: Expectations and Suggestions!
The new year is upon us. Oh, heck, who am I kidding? It’s been upon us for weeks, and boy is 2016 turning out to be a SF/F tornado of emotion! The good news is that we’re going to have new episodes soon. That means more interviews, more discussions, more movies, and more torturous adventures full of drinking, grumpy debate, and merriment! So, with that in mind, here are a few things to expect from us in 2016:
2016 Awards Season (Hugos, etc.): All the Eligible Things from a Year of Skiffy and Fanty!
It’s that time of year again. The time when we all show up in a big arena and fight each other with sticks and used socks and the leftover contents of Darth Vader’s fridge for the supreme honor of winning an award. OK. So that’s not true. But it is awards season, which means we do have to release a practically mandatory big post of all the stuff we discussed or created that happens to be eligible for something in 2016. So, here it is:
Torture Cinema Poll for the Holiday Special 2015!
It’s that time again! You know the drill…VOTE!
