Scientifiction One Hundred and One (episode 65)

We're back. Waaaaaayyyy back, at the birth of science fiction. Or should that be "scientifiction"?

We're celebrating 100 years of Amazing Stories, which was the world's first ever science fiction magazine. Join us as we romp through the magazine's debut issue from April 1926!

That historic first issue is online, so please follow along and give it a skim. You can find it here.

Also mentioned in this episode:

• New book on the making of the 1970s BBC classic Survivors, from Rich Cross 
• 2025 Chinese movie Resurrection

• Space.com's SF quiz (sampled in our episode)
• Mathesoncentennial, a new book from Anthony Taylor celebrating Richard Matheson, who was born a hundred years ago this year 

After we recorded our episode, but before we could release it, NPR upstaged us by doing a little feature on the birth of scientifiction. You can find it here.

Remember, you can find the new episode via your podcast app or platform of choice (many of the platforms are listed at the bottom of this post). Or you can listen right here:
