Arts - Spoken Word - Lukas Bergstrom's weblog

Wicked sci-fi from before you were born

"Hosts ELISHA SESSIONS and MARK SINKER and their astounding guests burrow insensibly into the pulp and avant-garde science fiction of 1935-1975." Readings from and discussions of a bunch of science fiction short stories. There's a podcast link to the completed series, but, irritatingly, no link to see a list of all the episodes. So:

Wish they'd done a Zelazny story.

I'm wary. Great speaker + good book is better than bad speaker + great book.

the long now foundation - seminar downloads
Listen to Brian Eno, Bruce Sterling etc talks as mp3s.

update: I'm disappointed. Not in the seminars, which I haven't listened to yet, but in whatever geek they got to create the mp3s. They're 128kbps, really excessive for voice, and no ID3 tags. The illusion of infalliability is shattered.
