Radio is the future

This morning, I went to a studio at Temple University to participate in a live broadcast of Minnesota Public Radio’s MPR News with Kerri Miller. It was super-cool, not least because OMG SOUND STUDIES RADIO DRAMA #AUDIOFUTURISM KISMET. The sound quality was the business. Take a listen! (Link will open an .mp3 if the embedded player below gives you trouble)

 

The show consisted of a conversation between host Kerri Miller, London-based Malaysian writer Zen Cho, and me, along with live updates from Twitter & chat by Stephanie Curtis, and phone calls from listeners.

A good time was had by all, and I/we recommended some quality SF texts by authors & artists of color!

 

Kindred and Wild Seed (my personal favorite), by Octavia Butler

Infusion, new album out now by Sammus!

The art of Cyrus Kabiru

The Invention of EJ Whitaker, by Shawnee & Shawnelle Gibbs, art by Mark Hernandez

Boy, Snow, Bird and other works by Helen Oyeyemi

And Zen Cho is author of the Tiptree Award-nominated Sorceror to the Crown and other books!

Next stop: Sci-Fi Alien(ation): DIversity & Bigotry in Sci-Fi/Fantasy, at the CUNY Graduate Center!
