#125 Eliot Fintushel's Uxo, Bomb Dog pt2 + Sanctuary
In episode 125 of Beam Me Up we re-enter the world of Eliot Fintushel in his story Uxo, Bomb Dog. The dysfunctional world of a man and his dog with land mines. This week is part 2. But first I talk about the premiere of the Sci-fi channel's Sanctuary and cartoon network channel's premiere of Star Wars Clone Wars. From the blog, does the US have the nads to really get to Mars, Magnetars, is the Solar System in a space time bubble?, Fox buys a year of Fringe but may opt out of Terminato ...

#124 Uxo Bomb Dog pt 1- Eliot Fintushel + Monkey Bee!Welcome to episode 124 of Beam Me Up! Thanks to everyone for your continued interest! This week I start reading Uxo Bomb Dog by Eliot Fintushel. This is a longish story of the near future which tells the tale of a man and his dog and their efforts to clear the world of anti personnel weapons, mainly land mines. The story plays close to home, because his efforts of late are not in a far off third world country but Manhattan Island. Yes Elliots world has gone crazy and warring political ...

#123 Evil Robot Monkey-Mary Robinette Kowal + Earthmen Bearing Gifts-Frederick BrownThis week's episode is probably one of the most varied for Beam Me Up. Episode 123 starts with a new song by John Aneilo called Summer Glau. Doesn't take rocket science to see what this song is based on. The lyrics are in fact a bit of a tongue in cheek homage to Seals and Crofts Summer Breeze however. All in all though,I think you will find this song on par with some of the other works of John's. For stories, Quasar Dragon's Dave "wolfkahn" Tackett will be reading the sci-fi classic E ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
#122 Pyramid of Amirah - J.P. Kelly + impressions on the FringeThis week I get to play a great story by James Patrick Kelly called "The Pyramid of Amirah" based on an odd Mayans practice. He tells in his preamble of the Mayans building a temple then building a pyramid over the temple enclosing it. So his story is set in present time but in an alternate universe where a religion is built up around pyramids covering temples of a sort. The inhabitants of the temples are both melancholy and wonderful at the same time and so much more. From the blog, ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
#121 Bodies in the Water con by Jack Mangan + Gentle Art of Salesmanship Shaun SaundersGot some good stuff on tap for episode 121 of BMU. Of course the conclusion of Jack Mangan's riveting story, Bodies in the Water. The program starts with a piece of post apocalyptic music in the form of an old standard folk song from Lee Hazelwood called Morning Dew. The funny piece about this cut is the fact that it would seem that every group that wanted to sing folk had a go at this tune. And I never heard it, wow! The first story this week is a piece of altered reality from Shaun ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
#120 Bodies in the Water pt2 - Jack Mangan + xray eyes!Episode 120! Things go swimmingly this week, so I manage to get a good portion of Jack Mangans Bodies in the Water, which I play at the bottom of the hour. The first 1/2 hour I, as usual, reserved for news of certain type. First off, did you know you had x-ray eyes? New webisodes Lonelygirl15 and the Resistance have been out and will start soon. What I mean is Lonelygirl started earlier this year, but I never saw any news of it and tthe producers of that show just started a follow on se ...

#119 Bodies in the Water pt1 - Jack Mangan + Rachel Rosen!Episode 119! I thought I would spend some time with music of a futuristic or science fiction feel today. I found a song based on Blade Runner, one that is a rap on the LHC believe it or not, and one that might not strictly speaking be science fiction, but may well be the very direction our enjoyment of our favorite music tracks. There are a host of webisodes coming on line and I cover a couple. Bad news from the Star Gate Atlantis world, ESA's Rosetta closing in on its' hat trick, Image ...

This week's story is James Van Pelt's How the Music Begins, a real thoughtful piece about a group forced to survive under conditions bound to drive anyone over the edge. The group? A young high school band and the where? Now there's the big question. And for what reason? The final mystery. A truly wonderful story by Mr. Van Pelt.

#114 Pride pt1 Mary A. Turzillo + Aldrin say Science Fiction is BAD!Episode 114 of Beam Me Up! This week's story is part 1 of Mary A. Turzillo's short story "Pride". That posits what if the basic science idea of Jurassic Park were able to take place. The problem with movies like Jurassic Park is that through the weaknesses of the human being science will ultimately fail. Though Mary's venue is not a fancy amusement park and not T-Rexs are eating people, she posits, what would happen if a long dead animal from 10s of thousands of years ago were recreated ...

#113 HAD - Shaun Saunders + Chicken Soup for Mars + Venus pt 2 Matt JarpeThis week on Episode 113, The passing of Tom Disch is the major downer of the week. I start the rest of the hour with a story from Shaun Saunders. I run his short story H.A.D. as a prime example of how Science Fiction is on the bleeding edge of not only science but social and cultural dynamics. The tie in concerns new concerns in medicine and the age group they are aimed at. The story is disturbing in its own right, the truth is frightening. Plus AMC cable channel wants to one up SCI ...

# 111 Tomb Wife pt2 Gwyneth Jones + Uncertainty - Shaun SaundersYou up for 2 stories today? Great! First story is a quick tale from Shaun A. Saunders called Uncertainty. Very much in the style of the golden age of science fiction, Shaun's tale deals with cutting edge quantum physics. The "Uncertainty" in the story is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle - but far from being boring, Shaun spins a very clever tale. At the bottom of the hour I read the last half of The Tomb Wife by Gwyneth Jones, which is one of the Theodore Sturgeon finalists and wa ...

# 110 The Tomb Wife pt1 Gwyneth Jones,+ do science with Chocolate!This week, in episode 110, I start reading The Tomb Wife by Gwyneth Jones. This is a very cerebral tale, not to say that you have to burn out a few synapses just to understand it, but what I mean is, that it deals with loneliness, loss, isolation and know that your life depends on everyone agreeing what the "world" is suppose to be like. Plus I really think Mz. Jones' version of FTL is very inventive. Not to say that the terms have not been bandied about, but getting inside the people's ...

This week part one of "A Small Room in Koboltown" by Michael Swanwick. This story can best be described (in my humble opinion) as Mixing Harry Potter and Sin City with maybe a Sam Spade garnish! A neat piece of speculative fiction where ghosts,bogarts, trolls, demons and who knows what else exist side by side with humans, magic and science in balance.
