Aces & Jokers: A Wild Cards Podcast Aces & Jokers: A Wild Cards Podcast

In this episode we discuss the first half of Deuces Down (Wild Cards Book 16).
Show Notes
Short and sweet, friends:
Read John Jos. Miller's Wild Card and Sports article now, please. You can add songs that are relevant to Wild Cards to our Wild Cards Songs playlist, but please make sure they're directly relevant. Someone has added a Billie Eilish song; I don't have the energy to determine whether it's actually right for the playlist so whatever. Maybe drop us a note with your thinking, Spotify User lmr1818. Why not take a gander at GRRM's original announcement of the publication of Deuces Down? General Notes

Keeping it teeny and tidy:
We think the first time we saw Gangsta Joey was in Down and Dirty (Book 5), when Yeoman puts an arrow through the arms of an unnamed mafioso. Let us know if we got that wrong. Here's the pic Ben wanted you to see.

In this episode we discuss the first half of Card Sharks (Wild Cards Book 13).
Show Notes
Here's that water supply article Ben was talking about, and the episode of Planet Money about the same subject that Angel mentioned.
Never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's? Here's what they thought was appropriate makeup for Mickey Rooney.
As promised, here's a Wikipedia link to Chinatown: Chinatown (1974 film)
Like animals? You'll love this heartwarming zoo-based documentary.
. . . just don't write any YA about it.
Here's that Trouble With Centaurs cartoon, though if you heard the episode, the joke is spoiled, sorry.
You can buy that cyberpunk poetry novella, Event Horizon by Zac Paup, right here.
Finally, Ben has asked me to issue a formal apology on his part to the people of Spain. He says:
“The power I had over the Spanish is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I have spent my long and lucky podcasting career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen. Thank you for reading.”

In this episode we discuss the second half of Card Sharks (Wild Cards Book 13).
Show Notes
As we mention in the episode, "Cursum Perficio" (1993) was indeed Kevin Andrew Murphy's first contribution to a Wild Cards novel, although he contributed to the GURPS Wild Cards roleplaying game supplement "Aces Abroad" in 1991.

The fictional book within Philip K Dick's novel "The Man In The High Castle" is called The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, not The Grasshopper Lies Quietly as Ben says in this episode.

Show Notes
I'm tired so I'm phoning these in this week:
Read William F Wu's Triple Dualities article now, please. Angel got gently and correctly dragged in a column about bisexuality and now is FULLY OUT ok. I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle. Barbara Walters interviews Michael Jackson on 60 Minutes FUN FACT: Oprah went off the air in 2011—BUT she was on 60 Minutes for a while after that!  Finally, Ben has asked me to issue a formal apology on his part to bisexual people. He says:
“The power I had over the bisexuals is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I have spent my long and lucky podcasting career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen. Thank you for reading.”
