Red Dwarf was a British sci-fi comedy show that aired from 1988 to 1999 on BBC Two. Featuring a cast of colorful characters, the show has lived on in books and other media. Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers is book one and serves as prequel / jumping off point for the series. But does it do a good job of it? Does the beloved show translate well into book form? Or will it cause yuo to never give the show a shot if you have never seen it?

There is no such thing as witches. Well maybe back when they burned innocent women at the stake in Salem. But not in the 1890s. But even then, witches were not real. But what if there were real witches? And what if they had just forgotten the old ways for fear of being found out? And what if the women's suffrage movement caused them to remember the old ways and bring witchcraft back to help fight for women's rights? This month we are discussing The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow.

Editors Note: If you listen to this show as an audio only podcast, first, thank you for the support. But we have been doing a lot more stuff on YouTube. This month, I left in the pre-show banter that is on the video version of the show just so you can get a taste of what you are missing.

Imagine waking up up in the body of another person in a mystic land where people can use their chi to do incredible things... then getting you butt kicked. Forget those jerks, I'm going to go far away and just become a simple farmer. But when you have the strength of 10 men and the ability to infuse things with powerful Qi, life doesn't stay simple. Especially when your rooster and several other farm animals learn to do the same!

Have you ever looked at a character in the background of a movie and thought, “I wonder what that guy’s story is?” Have you ever wondered how a certain character got to that point in the story? Have you ever thought about all of the beings that were lost in that big explosion, even if it saved the day? Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View is a collection of 40 stories from characters that filled that original classic. Some are well known characters like Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Grand Moff Tarkin. Others are from those who had very little screen time like Aunt Beru and Biggs Darklighter. And others who you may have never even considered like the mouse droids and the dianoga in the trash compactor on the Star Destroyer.

Justin chats with us about what its like to voice multiple characters in audio books, how he got into doing voice work, and some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into bringing an audio book to life.

No interview this month, hopefully we can get that together for next month. So in the mean time, we’re discussing other books that we have been reading. Some have been brought up on previous episodes while others are entirely new. So sit back and let us tell you why should also be reading this books… or avoiding them like the plague.

Imagine a world where not only did humans turn things around and not destroy the planet, but we also managed to peacefully co-exist with sentient robots and allowed them to go off and do their own thing? In this month’s book, A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers, a tea serving monk, Sibling Dex, goes on a journey and meets a robot, Mosscap, who has not been seen for hundreds of years. Together, they try to answer the question all robots have for humanity, “ “what do people need?” The philosophical questions it raises fill the lion’s share of this short yet thoughtful book.
