The Sportcat Show | NASA Pilot Turned Sci-Fi Author & Dystopian Nightmares

Get ready for a double-header of incredible storytelling tonight!We kick things off with a true polymath who has lived the sci-fi life he writes about. As a former Air Force test pilot and engineer for NASA’s Space Shuttle and ISS programs, Pat Daily brings authentic, real-world technical expertise to his fiction. We’ll discuss his transition from the cockpit to the keyboard and his novel, Spark. Described as Ready Player One meets real engineering, the story is set in a massive Augmented Reality theme park where choices have actual consequences. We’ll dive into the journey of Will "Wonderboy" Kwan as he uncovers a dangerous conspiracy involving AI and corporate espionage.Later, we sit down with acclaimed Canadian author Mark Morton. While known for his PhD in sixteenth-century literature and award-winning non-fiction, Mark is stepping into a bold new arena with his debut YA dystopian thriller, The Headmasters. Set 60 years after a global catastrophe in Northern Ontario, the story follows survivors enslaved by creatures that physically control their hosts. We’ll explore the dark journey of Maple, a young woman who can carry forbidden memories, as she plots to overthrow the oppressors.Plus, you know the drill! We will remind our listeners that we always ask the big question: Have our guests ever had a paranormal experience or seen a Bigfoot?Don't miss it!Connect with Pat: https://thepatdaily.com/Connect with Mark: https://www.markmorton.ca/Follow Sportcat at:https://www.facebook.com/sportcatpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sportcatshowshttps://www.instagram.com/sportcat/https://twitter.com/sportcathttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sportcatshowshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/sportcatshowSubscribe now and hit that notification bell!http://www.youtube.com/@SportcatshowWant to send me something? https://www.speakpipe.com/Sportcat⁠⁠[email protected] Text or VoicemailHelp us win a contest, and raise money for a good cause!https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?px=8894576&fr_id=162867&pg=personalSupport me at:paypalme/sportcatvenmo.com/u/Sportcatmediccash.app?$SportcatmedicDon't miss Sportcat spinning classic rock on The Thin Line Rock Radio Station, every Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 2 PM.
