It was a bright and sunny morning - the annual excoriation of the masses here in Perth, and a particularly vicious one - so Gary and I fired up Skype and had a long chat about the Nebula Awards, how e-readers are impacting on the management of the reviewing cycle, the work of Peter S. Beagle and some other stuff. As always, we hope you enjoy it!

And it's another weekend. This morning Garth Nix, bestselling author of the 'Keys to the Kingdom' and 'Old Kingdom' series, among many wonderful novels, joined Gary and I in the pod to discuss what 'young adult' means, the current troubles with bookselling and book publishing, ebooks, his forthcoming novels Troubletwisters (with Sean Williams) and A Confusion of Princes and lots more stuff in a special 'Pink Drinks' edition of The Coode Street Podcast. Enjoy!

That’s better! Technical difficulties behind us, Gary and a slightly hungover I jumped into the pod to discuss Carol Emshwiller, the right time to publish a book, optimistic SF, the death of SF and all sorts of other stuff. We hope you enjoy it, as always!

Live from the Locus/Twelfth Planet Press in the World Fantasy Convention 2010 dealer's room, Gary and I chat with Alisa, Karen and Francesca about World Fantasy, women at conventions, and all sorts of other stuff. We ramble. The sound quality may be affected by the venue, along with random background announcements, but we hope you like it!

Gary Wolfe checks in from Readercon in Burlingham MA and brings guests Elizabeth Hand and Peter Straub to the table. This time we discuss:
- the art of the novella
- why Readercon is worth attending
- outsider art, Henry Darger, crypto-aviation,
- and all sorts of other neat stuff.
We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!

Author, critic, photographer, and Locus editor Amelia Beamer joins Gary and I for a new podcast as our first ever guest. Amelia was only just home from Locus HQ in Oakland, Gary was taking some time out from reading for his column in Chicago, and I was still pottering around after breakfast while the kids are off at swimming lessons in Perth. I once again showed my lack of technical skills in the audio arena, but we discussed:
- being a first-time novelist, writing and The Loving Dead;
- Kim Stanley Robinson's astounding new short story; and
- the SF Signal Mind Meld on short story collections you have to have and whether there's a language we can use to discuss the history of the SF field that's inclusive,
There's probably some other stuff, but we recorded this morning and I'm not going to re-listen to the whole thing. We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!

Every Saturday morning now Gary and I fire up Skype to record the latest in our series of chats. Gary's usually not that long home from his office in Chicago, while I'm mostly still pottering around after breakfast while the kids are off at swimming lessons. We did it again yesterday morning, and we once again reveal our collective lack of technical skills in the audio arena and briefly mention:
- getting contributor's copies,
- re-editing classic books,
- ebook design and the iPad,
- books I'd like to see exist that don't,
- The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson and how humanists wrote short fiction,
- entry-level SF novels and anthologies,
- year's bests,
- the lack of SF for children, and
- spend some time discussing Nnedi Okorafor and her novel Who Fears Death.
There's probably some other stuff, but we recorded this yesterday and I'm not going to re-listen to the whole thing. We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!
