Atoz: A Speculative Fiction Book Club Podcast

I found this wonderful podcast while searching for more information on Asimov’s Foundation series. I became a fan of the Apple TV adaptation of the series and was intrigued to know more about the source material, and how the show differs from the original book. This podcast not only provides an excellent synopsis of the book, but also engages the listener in a thoughtful conversation about ancient civilizations, while providing revealing insights about Asimov’s perspective of world at the time of Foundation’s publication. The host & guest are very knowledgeable, have a natural chemistry, and are endlessly entertaining. I cannot recommend this podcast enough! I don’t understand why there aren’t more reviews.

Greece was not an empire. Rome was. Why? Because one ended with no replacement for over a 1000 years. That’s because it was so big there was no replacement. The other just went away and was replaced by a competitor, Rome.

Everything under Claytemple Media is top tier quality work. Glenn is a wonderful storyteller and summarizes these works with great vividness and enthusiasm, and then dives into fascinating and insightful analysis. It’s a great way to expose yourself to new authors and stories. Whether you’ve read the stories or not these are really worth your time to listen to.

Yet another great Claytemple Media production. Glen McDorman obviously love speculative fiction and loves telling us about. Clear and insightful looks into a variety of authors.
