Beam Me Up episode 169 is a good honest 60 minutes this week and with a minimum of fill! We start off this week with CrystalWizard reading Shaun Saunders' "The Sale" which as you will recognize is based in his Fabcola/Mallcity universe. But Saunders has given this short story a decidedly deviant twist. The set up is simple enough, what would happen if you dialed a wrong number? As simple as that sounds, Saunders' character, looking for someone in the "service sector" and getsso very much more! I would caution listeners, even though BMU is listed as suitable for all listeners, The Sale has some very suggestive lines that some might consider of an adult nature. That being said...the story is firmly tongue in cheek and funny.
Oddcube reviews a cult classic "Journey to the far side of the Sun" only as Oddcube can do a review. You might want to give the movie a pass, but not the review!
As long as we are talking about reviews, I review Tesseracts 13 due out in September from Edge publishing.
And we finish up with Part 2 of Colin P. Davies "Pestworld" the "pests" get stranger and the intrigue gets thicker!
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.
