Episode 148 of Beam Me Up starts a new story this week. James Alan Gardner has graciously allowed us to read his The Ray Gun: A Love Story which has made it to the final Nebula award nomination selection. We will get part 1 read of the novelette. The story revolves around the unforeseen repercussions of exposure to an incomprehensible alien device. But first we have some weirdness as we are joined at the start of the program by an unknown fan who sat in silent judgment of the program (I swear! 3d glasses and a billy jack hat - never said a word! lol) Roy again joins me with a review of The Sword Masters by Selina Rosen published by the Dragon Press which he reports is a 5 of 5 can't put it down reader.
Science Fiction, Science Fiction and more science fiction! If it's on TV in print in the movies or even audio science fiction, We try to cover whatever is happening. Also the science of today that might influence new Science fiction.
podcast possible.

Beam Me Up continues to grow. This new growth puts demands on our bandwidth. To keep up with demand I have added more bandwidth and storage space - all of which costs. If you enjoy the podcast version of Beam Me Up and would like to help defray some of the expense, please consider making a small donation by selecting the Pay Pal button below. Thanks! The theme of the show is discussion of current science fiction material. I have ongoing conversations about current, new and classic science fiction - what is currently in the theaters, in print and television. Also I like to include science articles that are just out there far enough that I think might influence new science fiction. As time permits, I play as much quality audio science fiction as I can. At least one or two stories during the show. Often I use fiction that has been released under Creative Commons or that material that might be in the public domain but often I ask the authors directly if I can broadcast their short stories. For additional information and or more material and links, please visit the show's blog at www.wrfrbeameup.blogspot.com If you have a short science fiction story and would like to have us read it on-air, please contact us.
