    A Chat with M.R. Carey

    On the latest episode of TFTB, Mike Carey joins us on the Bridge to talk about his new book, Outlaw Planet. This a very cool sci-fi western and it’s available now.  Some of our eagle-eared listeners will recall that Mike’s space opera, Infinity Gate was our book of the month a couple of episodes back. If you haven’t had a chance to read this series - we highly recommend it.  Let us know if there's a book or film that you want us to review on the podcast!

  3. TFTB Book Club: Neuromancer by William Gibson

    TFTB Book Club: Neuromancer by William Gibson

    On this episode of TFTB, we dig into a science fiction, and cyberpunk classic. Neuromancer was written by William Gibson in 1984, and reading it now will make you appreciate just how far ahead of its time this book was. This series began a sub genre of science fiction that includes The Matrix, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost in a Shell, among others.  We’re currently enjoying a golden age in science fiction literature, and it’s fun to see where some of the foundations for this moment came from.  We also jump on the 3I/Atlas bandwagon for some hot takes, and of course, we reveal our next book of the month!

    TFTB Film Club: Interstellar (2014)

    On this episode of TFTB Film club we’re talking all things Interstellar. Directed by Christopher Nolan and boasting an all star cast back in 2014. This is one of those films that was both extremely ambitious, and successful, which is why people are still talking about it. People are also still talking about what Matt Damon did.  Matt Damon!

  6. TFTB Book Club: A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L Jensen

    TFTB Book Club: A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L Jensen

    This week on TFTB we leave our customary position in orbit, and land on virgin (for us) territory. Romantasy is having a moment, and we've put down our rockets to try and get in touch with our feelings. Or something. Our book of the month is A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L Jensen.  We conjured up a couple of subject matter experts to guide us through these mysterious lands of spice and smut. Thank you to Miranda and Carolynn for joining us and sharing your perspectives. This book is a bit spicy (medium), so fair warning to those that only like their spice from Arrakis. Or Kessel. We also reveal our next book of the month. You might be relieved to learn that we’re heading back to space. Cyberspace.  Discover what else Carolynn has to say about reading and writing, and get your multi-sided, multi-coloured gaming math rocks (dice!) here:  Twitch: The Karrotte (Reading & Writing stream) - https://www.twitch.tv/thekarrotte KarMoth Dice: Web - https://houseoftobes-shop.fourthwall.com/en-cad/collections/dice-by-karmoth & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karmothdice/ Learn more about Danielle Jensen - https://danielleljensen.com/ and A Fate Inked in Blood - https://danielleljensen.com/a-fate-inked-in-blood/  Let us know if there's a book or film that you want us to review on the podcast!
