A New Thing! Sci-Fi Book Club Episode 001 - The Three Body Problem
This is a pilot episode for a podcast discussing modern science fiction novels, originally recorded in August 2022. We were hoping to record and release more of these, but life, as it does, got in the way a little bit.
The release of the trailer for the Netflix adaptation of 3 Body Problem prompted us to dig this out and share it with the world. If you like what you hear and want more, email scifibookclubpodcast@gmail.com or jackrbkirby@gmail.com.
