bsky.app/profile/did:... thanks so much for the kind response to this, Delany's always tough to cover as there's so much to talk about. Later this week I'll be following up on the patreon with an episode on Mad Man.

SFULTRA is the only solo podcast i can listen to and im so glad Sean covered what might be the only good science fiction novel ever written (it might also be the only good novel ever written). im excited to listen to this two or three more times.

There is a brand new episode of SFULTRA, the only book podcast that has ever existed. It is about Samuel R. Delany and his book Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand. It's free to listen to here right now: www.patreon.com/posts/149597... and will appear in the usual podcast places later today.

Thanks so much, can't believe people listen more than once so I really appreciate the compliment!

Excellent episode that pulled out some details in Stars… that I’d missed until now. Go listen!

oh I'm just joking, I feel bad buying it off amazon tbh but that's the only place they are. I'm not on here much at the moment but I will be asking for your thesis when it's available.

Sad to hear you're a poseur, thought you had a Delany PHD, m8. (It's a slightly spaced out recentish self-published thing I stumbled across on Amazon. Mostly about Diogenes, an interview he did with Susan Sontag and correspondence with Guy Davenport.)

High praise, thank you! As I said, when I saw the early comment I was sure the hammer was coming down. Hopefully the Mad Man episode will also pass muster.

dying at “the new, newbie-friendly, series-light sfultra“ right into “don’t worry, i’m going to cover quark 1-4.” brother, never stop threatening us with a good time

Excellent! I've been wanting to read this one for awhile before heading into Dhalgren so this should be a great intro. USA listeners Wesleyan U Press has the rights to this and several other Delany titles.

Go get Delany'd.

They find you

Oh and SFULTRA will return next week. Some great stuff planned for this year, almost all of it in a slightly more traditional "sf mode".

Guy 15 years too old to be taking pictures in a mirror, in a mirror. It's in a bookshop.

Note: sadly, I am still alive. Silver lining, I feel like I'm going to be off here for the foreseeable.

Sean won’t say it so I will: he also made up a lot of fun guys to get mad at this year.

No amount of repetition can diminish the disappointment of clicking an interesting-seeming documentary on youtube, only to be met immediately by half-hearted faux library music blaring over a shot of mark gattis, squinting occasionally for no clear reason as he walks briskly up a cobbled street

bsky.app/profile/ther... Sometime in the 70s, my granny's friend walked up just as a traffic warden was writing him a ticket. He tried to get your man to rip it up. The attempt was unsuccessful, possibly because it included the phrase "listen, it's not my fault you weren't tall enough to be a Guard"

Totally missed that Joe Brainard's I Remember had been reissued this year. Saw there was a new introduction and immediately knew it could only go one way. I made this meme four years ago.

insane to find out jim davidson exists on a christmas day

They're taking the piss!

I believe they call this "environmental storytelling"

Perennially valid emotion.

The fucking state of this. How do you manage this level of spine disjunction in a series of just three. Had the first two for years but I can't in good faith read any of them now. Christmas ruined, pushing the tree over on the cat rn.

Sensing jealousy

She won btw.
