Tales From The Bridge

TFTB Book Club: Rosewater by Tade Thompson

Wed, 13 May 2026 18:00:00 -0400

On the latest Episode of TFTB Book Club we discuss Tade Thompson’s Rosewater. Our regular listeners will be up to date on his work as he joined us on the Bridge just last episode. In that interview we discussed his work and his process for getting words on paper. Aspiring authors take note!

As always, Kevin has some cool Science Fiction – Science Fact for us, and we’re talking tractor beams. Well, it’s tractor beam adjacent, but still fascinating stuff. We also catch you up on what else we’re Reading and Watching, and we have plenty of cool recommendations for you, including an article about Andor's Tony Gilroy being asked to avoid an "F" word. It's OK, he has friends everywhere.

We announce our next Book of the Month at the end of the episode. It’s Sam’s pick this month (you’re welcome), and he’s going with a new release that is getting plenty of hype. Any guesses? There are plenty of new books in the Science Fiction space right now, so there is plenty to choose from…

A Chat with Tade Thompson

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400

You’re in for a treat as Tade Thompson joins us on the Bridge. Our regular listeners know that his novel Rosewater, part one of the Wormwood Trilogy, is our current book of the month. We touch on this series, accidental apocalypse (apologies!), his thoughts on A.I., lore-keepers (Who?), and... we learn Tade's earliest, amazing career ambition and the limits of responsibility, despite great power, in the face of an empty bank account. There was so much to discuss that we’re hoping to have him back for more.

Tade is also the author of the Molly Southbourne series and Far From The Light of Heaven. His work has earned him the Arthur C Clarke Award, the Nommo Award, and the Prix Julia-Verlange.

The 150th Episode Special

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400

Tales From The Bridge is now 150 episodes old! From humble beginnings at the start of the pandemic when a local bookclub was forced to go online, to a titan of the Science Fiction literature world! Boldly going where no other sci-fi podcast has gone before… okay, maybe that’s a bridge too far, but it’s been a fun journey nonetheless.

It’s been stellar for us (see what I did there?) and we want to thank all of our listeners for coming along for the ride.

Since our first episode, we’ve interviewed the some of the most popular authors in Sci-fi. We expanded into film and television, and chatted with stars and directors. We even had a real alien as a guest (you’ll never guess who. Okay, it’s Kevin). We’ve also covered some wild stories on our Science Fiction/Science Fact segment.

From all of us at TFTB we are so grateful for your support, and as always, we love to hear from you. Here’s to another 150 and beyond!

On the latest episode of TFTB, our film club hosts time travel way back to 2012 to rewatch Looper. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Looper brought an all star cast together that included Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Bruce Willis.

TFTB Book Club: A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0500

On this episode of TFTB we dive into a science fiction (science fantasy?) classic; A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Featured in the final season of Stranger Things, this beloved YA novel won the Newbery Medal, and was adapted into a 2018 feature film with a mega-cast. The book remains persistently relevant, with it's themes of good vs. evil, individualism vs. conformity, and innocence to experience.

On Science Fiction-Science Fact we look into the autonomous robots that are being developed for moon exploration. A research team from KAIST, the Unmanned Exploration Research Institute, KASI, KARI, and Hanyang University are up to some interesting things. Hopefully we won't make the same mistakes as Starfleet.

Of course we’ll take a look at some of the other media we’re reading and watching. We’ve also got a very cool new book that we’re reading this month, so make sure to hang out until the end to find out.

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 18:00:00 -0500

On this episode of TFTB, we'll discuss Alastair Reynolds' House of Suns. It's acid-trip science fiction, and we had a lot of fun chatting about it. On Science Fiction-Science Fact, we look at some AI news from Davos, namely that Generative AI may develop survival instincts we need to worry about.

We'll also take a look at some of the other content we're reading and watching, and, of course, we'll announce our next Book Club read.

Hugh Howey is back on the Bridge!

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 18:00:00 -0500

Hugh Howey is back on The Bridge, and you’re going to enjoy this one. Naturally we have the latest on Silo as this acclaimed series heads into its third season. We get a peek at some of Hugh’s upcoming projects, which are pretty exciting.

We also have an enlightening conversation on artificial intelligence, and writing vs. authoring. Ai is a pretty divisive topic right now, and a nuanced conversation can help cut through the noise. We’ve never had a chat with Hugh where we didn’t leave with a slightly new perspective, and you may as well.

So! Lots to cover in this episode, let’s make our way over to The Bridge!

TFTB Film Club: Jupiter Ascending (2015)

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:00:00 -0500

TFTB Film Club is back, and apologies in advance. Our Film Clubbers decided to review the much maligned, Jupiter Ascending from 2015. When this came out, the unfortunate reviewer assigned from The Guardian called this film “…absolute nonsense” with “…dialogue that would make George Lucas cringe.”

For reasons we can’t truly justify, we’re bringing it back. Come circle the drain with us one more time, we promise to make it fun.

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 18:00:00 -0500

Is the human race redeemable? On this episode of TFTB we dive into our book of the month; The Humans, by Matt Haig. This book serves as a fun introduction to some interesting concepts, and worth a look.

On Science Fiction-Science Fact, we have news on the development of an actual Warp drive for Faster Than Light travel. Hint: We’re closer than you think.

We also talk about what else we’re reading and watching, and it’s Kevin’s turn to pick our next book of the month. Let us know what you think!

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 18:00:00 -0500

On the latest episode of TFTB, Mike Carey joins us on the Bridge to talk about his new book, Outlaw Planet. This a very cool sci-fi western and it’s available now.

Some of our eagle-eared listeners will recall that Mike’s space opera, Infinity Gate was our book of the month a couple of episodes back. If you haven’t had a chance to read this series - we highly recommend it.

TFTB Book Club: Neuromancer by William Gibson

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 18:00:00 -0500

On this episode of TFTB, we dig into a science fiction, and cyberpunk classic. Neuromancer was written by William Gibson in 1984, and reading it now will make you appreciate just how far ahead of its time this book was. This series began a sub genre of science fiction that includes The Matrix, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost in a Shell, among others.

We’re currently enjoying a golden age in science fiction literature, and it’s fun to see where some of the foundations for this moment came from.

We also jump on the 3I/Atlas bandwagon for some hot takes, and of course, we reveal our next book of the month!

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 18:00:00 -0500

On this episode of TFTB Film club we’re talking all things Interstellar. Directed by Christopher Nolan and boasting an all star cast back in 2014. This is one of those films that was both extremely ambitious, and successful, which is why people are still talking about it. People are also still talking about what Matt Damon did.

Matt Damon!

TFTB Book Club: A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L Jensen

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 18:00:00 -0400

This week on TFTB we leave our customary position in orbit, and land on virgin (for us) territory. Romantasy is having a moment, and we've put down our rockets to try and get in touch with our feelings. Or something.

Our book of the month is A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L Jensen.

We conjured up a couple of subject matter experts to guide us through these mysterious lands of spice and smut. Thank you to Miranda and Carolynn for joining us and sharing your perspectives. This book is a bit spicy (medium), so fair warning to those that only like their spice from Arrakis. Or Kessel.

We also reveal our next book of the month. You might be relieved to learn that we’re heading back to space. Cyberspace.

TFTB Film Club: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 18:00:00 -0400

On this episode of TFTB Film Club, our film nerds revisit the 2014 Sci-fi hit, Edge of Tomorrow. It's a great film, and there has long been talk of a sequel. Fingers crossed, Tom takes a break from completing impossible missions long enough to deliver on a long-anticipated part two. We'd love to see more Live, Die, Repeat on the big screen.

TFTB Book Club: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 18:00:00 -0400

On this episode of TFTB, things take a turn for the weird. Our book of the month was the first instalment of the perfectly ridiculous (and kind of fun), Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. If you have a gamer teen that you want to read a GD book, this might be the way. On Science Fiction, Science Fact, we have a look at the surprising amount of moon missions that are in the works - it’s more than you think. We’ll also let you in on what else we’re reading, along with the usual shenanigans.

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 18:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we sit down with Edward Ashton. Edward is the author of Mickey 7, which has recently been adapted for the big screen. Released under the title Mickey 17 and directed by Bong Joon-Ho of Parasite fame with an all-star cast we definitely recommend it.

Edward has authored several books, and I imagine many of our listeners are already familiar with Anti-Matter Blues, the sequel to Mickey 7. The Fourth Consort is his latest work, and you can also check out Mal Goes to War and Three Days in April. We had a great time and will be talking more about Mickey 7 in upcoming episodes.

You can check out Edward's website here: https://www.edwardashton.com/

TFTB Book Club: Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 18:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we talk about Adrian Tchaikovsky's novel, Service Model. This leads us into a bit of a discussion on audiobooks vs reading the old-fashioned way. Kevin talks about how governments are employing science fiction writers as futurists to consider "resilience beyond observed capabilities." It's interesting stuff, and we're sure to talk more about this in... the future. We also talk about what else we're reading and unveil the next book of the month, which may come as a surprise to our regular listeners...

TFTB Book Club: The Mercy of Gods by James S.A. Corey

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 18:00:00 -0500

In this episode of TFTB, we discuss The Mercy of Gods. A new series from James S.A. Corey, the writing duo behind one of the finest space operas ever published, The Expanse. The chances that this new series will also land on your television screen are good. The authors have teamed up with the former showrunners of The Expanse to create a media company called Expanding Universe. Under this shingle, they will be able to seamlessly transition their work from book to screen, and word is... that they already have a major development deal at Amazon MGM. Hopefully, there will be more to come on this!

Naturally, we've got a fun Science Fiction-Science Fact that would make Scully and Mulder proud. We’ll also reveal our next book of the month, and Kevin has a fun one for you. Let’s make our way over to the Bridge!

Check out Expanding Universe on the web: https://www.expanding-universe.com/

TFTB Film Club: Cocoon (1985)

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 18:00:00 -0500

On this episode of Film Club, we discuss the a classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon. Released in 1985, the movie actually garnered an Oscar for best visual effects. You could say…. 1985 was a simpler time. When else could a film with octogenarian protagonists carry a sci-fi thriller. It’s an under-rated classic, worthy of discussion. They don’t green light these kinds of stories anymore.

Or do they? Let us know what you think using the links below.

A Chat with Travis Baldree

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 18:00:00 -0400

In this episode we sit down with New York Times best selling Fantasy author, Travis Baldree. If you haven’t read Legends and Lattes, we highly recommend it. The series falls into an emerging sub-genre that we’ve covered in the past called ‘cozy fantasy’. It’s nice escape for those looking for a nice low-key read. Our conversation covered a lot of ground, and it was great to have Travis on the show.

A Chat with Scott Ryan

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 18:00:00 -0400

We're excited to have Scott Ryan on the Bridge this week. Scott is the author of The Last Days of Letterman, and best-seller, Moonlighting: An Oral History. We dig into his latest book The Last Decade of Cinema, which argues that the 1990s was the last decade of truly original film. We also get his take on Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek, which you need to hear. We had a lot of fun, and Scott made some points that are pretty tough to argue.

Make sure to check out Scott's website, and all the cool things he's up to here: https://www.scottryanproductions.com/product/the-last-decade-of-cinema/

TFTB Film Club: Alien (1979)

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 18:00:00 -0400

Here at TFTB, we find ourselves talking about Science Fiction movies almost as much as we talk about Science Fiction books. So as a companion to our Book Club episodes, we are going to start a Film Club. For our first discussion, we've decided to talk about a classic; Alien (1979).

For future episodes, we're going to make it more of a challenge, and our movie selections will have to be chosen in alphabetical order. So our next film choice will start with a B, and we're betting that you can guess. We hope you enjoy this new format!

Please let us know if there is a book you want us to bring to the book club or a film that you want us to review on the podcast!

TFTB Book Club: The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 18:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we discuss The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin, and things get grim. In Science Fiction - Science Fact we also look at alien life, the Ferme paradox, and the notion of evolutionary filters that limit the longevity of civilizations - which is why they aren't calling. A new study applies all of this to Artificial Intelligence, and it's worth a listen. We'll set aliens and doom aside to chat about what we've been up to in books, film, and even some travel. We also pick our next book of the month; spoiler - it's a nice departure for us.

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 18:00:00 -0400

We also challenge the idea that Mars is the best planetary neighbour for colonization, and circle back to Karl Schroeder's argument for Venus. We'll also share what other sci-fi books, comics, and shows that we're enjoying such as Dune Part 2 and G.I Joe . As always, hang on to the end to find out what our next book of the month is.

In this episode we review The Thousand Earths, by Stephen Baxter. This was an interesting book, but we're not in agreement on this one.

A Chat with Neill Blomkamp & Peter Watts - The Extended Cut

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 18:00:00 -0400

Listeners of TFTB could always use a little more Peter Watts. And because Neill Blomkamp's new film, Gran Turismo, opens this week - here is the extended recording.

The original release of this episode was 8/21/2021

We sit down with Hollywood Director, Producer, Writer and Animator, Neill Blomkamp, and Hard-Sci-fi author Peter Watts. For this grand meeting of the minds, we cover space vampires, human extinction, the justification for sentience, and discover how a little bit of solipsism can lead to murder.

Make sure to check out Oats Studios, for great online content from Neill Blomkamp.

Correction* Episode is not quite twice as long as the original edit.

A Chat with David Zindell

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 14:00:00 -0500

David Zindell returns to speak with us about the launch of his new book, The Remembrancer's Tale - the first new installation in the Neverness universe in 25 years, since his Requiem for Homo Sapiens ended in 1998. We discuss why he has returned to Neverness to describe the next stage of evolution in humans and the universe, the metaphysics of memory, the relationship of Truth and Beauty, his conversation with Timothy Leary, and the scientific as well as aesthetic reasons to reject a reductionist, dead universe made of atomic billiard balls.

You can find more of David's work on his webpage www.davidzindell.com, as well as Marty's review of of The Remembrancer's Tale on goodreads.

A Chat with Kim Stanley Robinson

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 17:00:00 -0500

We are thrilled to have Kim Stanley Robinson join us on the bridge to discuss the impact of his latest novel, The Ministry for the Future. Stan's writing career has spanned almost 50 years, and he has won World Fantasy Award, the BSFA, the John W. Campbell, Hugo and multiple Locus and Nebulas for his novels and short fiction, as well as the Robert A. Heinlein Award and Arthur C. Clark Award for his entire body of work.

The Ministry for the Future was included on President Obama’s list of favourite books of 2020, cementing Stan's reputation as an author whose work is more timely and relevant than ever. Stan's writing serves as a platform for environmental and social activism and a source of hope for the future by showing a path forward for our civilization to survive the climate crisis.

We also discuss geoengineering, environmental activism, cli-fi (climate fiction), poli-fi (policy fiction), how central banks and monetary policy can help save the world, the quasi-religious fantasy of interstellar travel, fusion, music, and much more.

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 15:00:00 -0400

The week it's the Fantasy special you were secretly hoping for. We talk about our favorite fantasy novels and series. We explore sub-genres and the strong ties that Fantasy has to Sci-fi. In Sci-fi, the "fast than light drive" has a major impact on the story, and so too does the type of magic used in a Fantasy novel. So rest assured - we'll be talking wizards.
