Monday, May 17, 2010 at 10:55PM We've finally finished the Windup girl and we'r ready to wrap it up, but we also have news, some sad (RIP Frank Frazetta) and some glad (Game of Thrones!) Plus we have some excellent thought-provoking commentary from the Goodreads group. And best of all, we announce we'll have another episode next week! Find out who our special guest interview is.

Last man on earth / post apoc book
Emails:
Stephen Baxter has a tendency to destroy the Earth in a number of his books. Notably:
Moonseed - Earth wiped out completely starting in the opening scene.
Evolution - Human evolution from triumph of mammals to the end of humanity (Earth survives, people don't)
Flood - All land gone. Some humans survive.
He's one of my favourite "Laser" authors and well worth reading.

LARP-off! - The S&L Podcast #030
Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 11:29PM This episode is mostly about catching up on the news. But we slipped into something that's becoming a regular segment, the Game of Thrones check-in. And during this check-in, we created the future battle between the Na'vi and the Dothraki role-players. That's right. We're calling for a LARP-off. This is happening.
We also do a check-in on Paolo Bacigalupi's Wind-up Girl, which we'll wrap-up next episode.
