Drake memes, Space memes, and guest author Ann Leckie

from Verge ESP · host The Verge

Memes were everywhere this week, from Drake to a "drunk" comet spewing booze across our solar system. Emily and Liz tackle the plusses and minuses of space giving up clickbait. Emily talks about HBO's Project Greenlight and the vastly different standards men and women (especially women of color) are held to in the film industry. And Liz welcomes award-winning science fiction author Ann Leckie, who just published the conclusion of her Imperial Radch trilogy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
