Exploring science fiction from all angles - covering the past, the present and the future!

We cover science fiction books, film, TV and other media. And we talk about classic or "golden age" SF alongside modern SF, using our "past/present/future" angles.

Your hosts: Phil Nichols of the Bradburymedia website, who is also know for the Bradbury 100 podcast and the Bradbury 101 Youtube channel; and Colin Kuskie of the Take Me To Your Reader podcast. Both Phil and Colin love adapted science fiction, so you can be sure we'll always be talking about film versions of books.

    A Festival of Sci-Fi (bonus episode!)

    A Festival of Sci-Fi (bonus episode!)

    This is a bonus episode of Science Fiction 101, in which we abandon our quizzes and throw our past/present/future items out the window, and just give you a straightforward interview. It's all about staging a science fiction film festival!

    Our guest is Russ Repp, who is responsible for the mammoth, eight-week, science fiction film festival currently happening in Portland, Oregon, in the city's remarkable OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry).

    Russ talks us through the history of the festival, and lets us in on the secrets of how a sci-fi film festival is programmed.

    Full information on the OMSI Science Fiction Festival (which continues until late May 2024) can be found here: https://omsi.edu/exhibits/sci-fi-film-fest/

    Even if - like Phil - you're nowhere near Oregon, this is still a fascinating tale of how a festival is put together.

    Next episode, we'll be back to our usual format, but we hope you enjoy this little bonus!

    Download and Chill with Robert J. Sawyer (episode 40)

    Download and Chill with Robert J. Sawyer (episode 40)

    Time for a new episode of the podcast. This time Colin and Phil meet the Hugo- and Nebula-winning author Robert J. Sawyer, to discuss his new novel The Downloaded.

    You may recall we reviewed the Audible Original full-cast audio version of The Downloaded a couple of episodes ago (you can find it here). We were keen to find out how the book version differs from the audio version, so we invited Rob onto the show to discuss.

    And what a discussion it is! 

    Also in this episode, we have listener responses to our "to be a fan" episode, and our usual ramble through the past, present and future of SF.

    To Be (or not to be) A Fan (episode 39)

    To Be (or not to be) A Fan (episode 39)

    Are you a science fiction fan? Possibly, or why else would you be listening to this podcast?

    Phil and Colin ponder what it means to be a fan, and whether there are are specific rules for entry into fandom.

    We also have our usual quiz, and our past/present/future discussion. For full show notes, check out our website at https://101sf.blogspot.com/

    Mind-Body Problem (episode 38)

    Mind-Body Problem (episode 38)

    In this episode, we review The Downloaded, the new novel by multi-award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer. It's an "Audible Original", meaning that it's been published first as an audiobook - and not just any old audiobook. This has Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser as one member of a full cast.

    We also have a quiz and our usual run-through of recommendations of past, present and future SF.

    Entering the Uncanny Valley (episode 37)

    Entering the Uncanny Valley (episode 37)

    It's that time of year where we take a current science fiction magazine and review it from cover to cover - as something of an antidote to what we did last episode (which was to review an old magazine from the 1960s New Wave).

    This time we work through one of the most successful of the current magazines, the multiple award-winning Uncanny.

    If you want to read along with us, you can find the entire issue (no. 55) online for free at the official website, here: https://www.uncannymagazine.com/issues/uncanny-magazine-issue-fifty-five/

    Riding the New Wave (episode 36)

    Riding the New Wave (episode 36)

    It being the end of the year, Colin and Phil continue their annual tradition of travelling back in time to read an old science fiction magazine. This time, they stop off in 1968 - the height of the "new wave" in science fiction - and pick up an issue of New Worlds magazine from December 1968.

    If you'd like to read along, you can find a PDF of that magazine here, courtesy of the Luminist website: https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/luminist/SF/NW_1968_12.pdf

    And if you'd like to join in our 1960s science fiction movie quiz, you'll find that on Youtube, here: https://youtu.be/vAFs4PfLCVw?si=ZYb1o02iABx7QI3Z
