It looked, for a moment, that technical difficulties would prevent us getting this final pre-WorldCon podcast out to you, but we persevered, recording this one twice. We discussed many things, including changing concepts of the field, books that we're reading and so on. We'll be at WorldCon and look forward to meeting as many of you there as possible. We'll also be recording, and hope to get something online from there (though it's possible we might not). Hopefully we'll see you here next week. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the podcast.

With WorldCon bearing down on us like a freight train, there is packing to be done, panel preparation to be considered, and travel details to be finalised. Despite all of that, Gary and I found a moment to record the latest episode. As always, we hope you enjoy it!

In 1975 Peter Nichols, John Clute and Brian Stableford launched a project that would ultimately last for more than thirty six years, exceed four million words of careful scholarship, occupy at least three publishers, win many awards, and be recognised as the most important reference work in the science fiction: The Science Fiction Encyclopedia. This week encyclopedist, writer, editor, and critic John Clute joined Gary and I to discuss the coming September launch of the third edition of the SFE, the history of the project, and the exciting SF Gateway project which is being launched by Gollancz at around the same time. As always, we'd like to thank John for joining us, and hope you enjoy the podcast!

As the weather in Perth turns cooler, and presumably as Spring prepares to give way to Summer in Chicago, Gary Wolfe and I once again take the chance to ramble on all subjects SFnal. This morning Gary was just home from a local convention and we discussed Marion Zimmer Bradley, art vs. craft, Robert Silverberg, and gender in genre. A pretty typical day on Coode St. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast.

After a long week, and a flight home from Seattle for Gary we were back in the pod this morning where we discussed what people feel awards are for and how we react to them, how the year in science fiction and fantasy is going so far, Osama by Lavie Tidhar, and The Essential Lucy Sussex. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Roving reporter Gary K. Wolfe checked in live from Seattle, where he and many of SF's glitterati are gathered for the annual Locus Awards and the SF Hall of Fame, to discuss the Hall of Fame, the death of the paperback market and how it affected the SF field, first novelists and new writers, and a little more. We were joined by Greg Bear (who sadly had to leave half way through) and Terry Bisson. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast.

This week Gary's on the road again, traveling to the East Coast to attend the HWA's Stoker Awards weekend. He persuaded Ellen Datlow and Peter Straub to join us on the podcast to discuss horror, genre boundaries and related topics.
