Smart deep dives !
It’s such a treat to hear smart and thoughtful people discuss sci-fi books past and present.I started off, listening to the episodes related to books I already know, and have also enjoyed being introduced to many new titles as well. I especially liked the audiobook they produced of The Machine Stops.Great stuff!
