Fishhead and Another Dark Story | Podcast

Fishhead is a 1913 horror short story by American author Irvin S. Cobb, set in the bayous of Reelfoot Lake, about a monstrous, outcast man-fish hybrid and his violent conflict with two local men, noted for its gruesome atmosphere and influence on H.P. Lovecraft. It's considered a classic of weird fiction, praised by Lovecraft himself for its "banefully effective" portrayal of "unnatural affinities" between the creature and the lake's fish. X Marks the Pedwalk" by Fritz Leiber is a futuristic science fiction story that explores the tensions and violent conflicts between two factions: pedestrians and motorists in a society where the two groups live in starkly divided urban environments. The narrative comically exposes the increasing absurdity in their society's norms and expectations. Host - M.P.

Air Raid | Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction | Podcast

Air Raid is a short story by John Varley that won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for Best Short Story. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity is decimated by disease and deformity, the plot follows a team of reanimated "undead" time travelers who travel back to the past to rescue victims of impending air crashes. These "Snatch teams" extract healthy passengers from doomed flights (such as a 1979 plane crash) before they die, bringing them forward to Centauri-3 (or "New Earth") to repopulate the dying future world. The story explores themes of time travel paradoxes, moral ambiguity, and human survival, noting that the rescuers must replace the victims with "wimps" (realistic dummies) to maintain the timeline's integrity. The story served as the basis for the 1989 film Millennium. Host - M.P.
