These are the adventures of Anomalous Readings, the podcast where Nora and Jackson read science fiction books every month! From the golden age to the modern day, we're here to explore the genre, find some new little guys to talk about, and report back. And we'll be keeping an eye on Star Wars along the way, too! Presented by Export Audio.

Anomalous Readings 12: Dune by Frank Herbert
Episode Notes
We're back! It's been a while, but you know how life goes! This month we read Dune...this was meant to be a far less topical episode, but you can't argue with Final Fantasy. Come with us on a journey to the desert planet...and beyond, as we gaze into the void that is Kevin J Anderson. -
Anomalous Readings 11: Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Episode Notes
Hello hello, and welcome back to Anomalous Readings! This month, we read our first title from renowned science fiction author Isaac Asimov. It's Foundation! This is the one that really kicked off Nora's dive into sci-fi a couple years ago, so it's been nice to reread it!
Join us next month for Dune by Frank Herbert! -
Anomalous Readings 10: Mobile Suit Gundam - Awakening, Escalation, & Confrontation by Yoshiyuki Tomino
Episode Notes
We're back! After a strange October and a trying November, your favorite sci-fi duo returns to explore new frontiers of human cognition and warfare with Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam light novels! Presenting an alternative story to that of the anime and associated movies, these novels were the first Gundam materials to be released in English. They're also fucking super weird!
Next month, we're reading Foundation by Isaac Asimov. -
Anomalous Readings 9: The Female Man by Joanna Russ
Episode Notes
We're back again, this time with a guest! Friend of the show Mark is here to discuss Joanna Russ's 1975 book The Female Man! A truly unique work that throws out convention in perspective, structure, and style, this book was a bit more of a challenge than we really expected, but in the end I think we're all pretty satisfied with the experience.

Anomalous Readings 8: The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime by R.A. Salvatore
Episode Notes
Hello there! Welcome back to another episode of Anomalous Readings. This month, Dianoga Leader and Dianoga 3 explore to the very edges of our galaxy with R.A. Salvatore's sole contribution to Star Wars, Vector Prime! Join us as we discuss droid genocide, co-opted revolution, extragalactic invasion, and the Solo children playing bumper cars for about a quarter of the book. And then after all that we read Wookieepedia for a while because what else is one to do while podcasting about Star Wars?
You can find Jackson online under the name headfallsoff and you can find Nora under the name skulldaughter. You can support the podcast by going to exportaud.io! -
Anomalous Readings 7: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Episode Notes
Greetings, Anomalous Listeners! This month we reach a sort of low point for the podcast. Snow Crash, while influential is...bad. It's not a good time. Let's talk about it.
Next month we're reading Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime by R. A. Salvatore.
