Episode 274: A step to the left...

As we head into our third straight week without a guest on the podcast, we confront our lack of organisation with a smile and a nod. We actually sat down and planned what we'd discuss on this episode, then Gary brought up something else entirely immediately after the intro and off we went.  Following the sad news that Prince had died, we spent some time discussing science fiction and popular music, then revisited my (Jonathan's) comments on people reading SF criticism, had a few comments on The Big Book of SF (which Jonathan's reading right now), noted the Hugo nominations are due in a few days, and wound up talking about what we are reading at the moment. All in all, a pretty typical episode.  As always, we hope you enjoy it. We'll be back next week with more.
