Beam Me Up episode 162 is again, just full of goodness ... wow, they are getting so good, maybe even I will start listening! First off, Tony Smith gives us an update on what is going on with Star Ship Sofa. Tony seems to be his own worst enemy when it comes having things just go completely wrong, but he managed to get the show out in good order, but it is comical to listen to the machinations he went through. In the flash/poetry department we have David Kopaska-Merkel's Hazard Pay For our longer piece Crystal Wizard, of Abandoned Towers, returns again to read part one of Clifford D. Simak's The Street that wasn't There. This is a thoroughly disturbing tale that is enhanced by CW's reading. From the blog, Mars had huge deep water lakes? Why is Star Trek still popular after all these years? and the BMU archive has been updated.
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 Paul Cole
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. The show's email address is beammeup@gwi.net. Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.
