đď¸ Rewind: Ben Bova on Mars Life â A Vintage Conversation
Host Tony Tellado chatted with the legendary science fiction author Ben Bova to discuss his novel Mars Life, part of his sweeping Grand Tour series. The conversation explores the ethical and scientific dilemmas of Martian exploration, the tension between religious fundamentalism and scientific inquiry, and Bovaâs vision for humanityâs future among the stars. Bova shares his thoughts on terraforming, the search for extraterrestrial life, and why Mars should remain pristine while we study its secrets. His insights are sharp, provocative, and deeply rooted in decades of science-informed storytelling. đŞ Mars Life continues Bovaâs speculati...

Answer, Please Answer, by Ben Bova
Looking for signs of intelligent life on other planets by trying to detect radio signals was a waste of time; it would take too much power to broadcast any significant distance. Light, however, was easier to project over the distances required to traverse interstellar space. And perhaps, signals from another intelligence have been detected, mistakenly interpreted as a star pulsating, its brightness changing due to some natural phenomenon. Well, it's something to do when you're stuck monitoring the weather at the South Pole...

Riassunti Stellari
Orion - Ben Bova
In Orion, Ben Bova ci presenta un superuomo che si definisce, umilmente, umano come tutti noi... solo con capacità tipo imparare il pianoforte in due ore o arti marziali in pochi giorni. Orion scopre rapidamente di non essere solo un impiegato superumano, ma una pedina cosmica catapultata dal futuro per salvare l'umanità . Tra bombe inaspettate, incontri con angeli dorati e tipi infernali, Orion si destreggia tra crisi esistenziali e duelli epici con la leggerezza di uno che scopre di essere destinato a morire eroicamente. In fondo, è solo un'altra giornata tranquilla per il salvatore occasionale dell'universo.

TPM 024 : From 6-Figures in Fitness to International Business Relations with Adam Griggs
This week I have a chat with Adam Griggs, VP for the J. A. Knapp Agency! Â I thought it was cool that we connected through business, but were able to further connect with our mutual interest in comic books, conventions, and sci-fi.

Math and me have this love-hate relationship. I love knowing about math, but really understanding it? A little bit less so. Â In this episode, Ada...

As spring emerges, John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson shed their well-worn thermals and discuss the vast and treacherous landscape of anthologies. It is a subject that encompasses themed volumes, shared worlds, and literary approaches, from the experimental volumes of the 1970s, through the subject-specific collections of Ace and Daw, to the copious riches that have become available readers in the past decade. What makes an anthology work? Which ones hold special places? And have they stood the test of time? The discussion then turns, as always, to culture consumed.
