Listen "[From the Vault] Jeff VanderMeer and Our First On-Air Murder"
Episode Synopsis
Jeff VanderMeer and I did not fall out!!
This is a myth that has arisen since Jeff came on the show back in 2021, to discuss his eco-espionage crisis thriller, Hummingbird Salamander.
Well, this trip back to the Vault will hopefully dispel that rumour.
Instead what you’ll hear is a conversation with the Emperor of Weird fiction, talking about conservation and climate catastrophe, about plans to save the world and the villainy of tech – and about the furthest (Southern) reaches of a mad imagination.
Enjoy!
Other books mentioned:
Annihilation (2014), by Jeff VanderMeer
Borne (2017), by Jeff VanderMeer
The Rain Heron (2020), by Robbie Arnaut
