Listen "Uniquely Portable Magic (episode 48)"
Episode Synopsis
It occurred to us that although we have discussed many specific books on the show, we've never devoted an episode to the idea of the book - those papery, texty things that Stephen King has described as "uniquely portable magic".
So in this episode, we address the various ways in which books can be enjoyed and consumed, and discuss ten (or eleven) questions on the subject of books.
We also have a book-adjacent quiz, and our usual round up of recommendations of past, present and future SF.
