We hate the entire concept of canon! Who cares if a fictional story really "happened"? NONE OF THEM HAPPENED, IT'S FICTION. And screw "the canon." Plus we learn all about the scary world of tsunamis in lakes, rivers and even creeks... https://t.co/jXl4yMDmQD

Forget space captains and superheroes — in our latest episode, we celebrate the plumbers, cleaners and infrastructure workers who save the day. Plus we talk to @arielwaldman about living in Antarctica and studying the humble-yet-glorious tardigrade! https://t.co/T8d71vTK1A

Doctor Who is back, and we're obsessed! In our latest episode, we geek out about how this show has managed to stay awesome for * 60 years *. Hint: There are some key lessons that other venerable series could look to. (*cough* Star Trek *cough*) https://t.co/f4NkhwTBPE

@Joi_the_Artist @jessiegender @OOACpod was talking about Galactica and described it, paraphrasing here, as a great scifi series intertwined with a flawed/underdeveloped fantasy series, and that really helped me better understand my feelings about the series.

Our latest episode is about zines. They started as a key part of science fiction culture and became a punk rock staple — but what are zines today? To find out we talk to Lynn Peril (Mystery Date) and Lawrence Lindell (Blackward)! https://t.co/9tOHRbS7SX

Tech leaders claim to love science fiction, but they don't understand it — and this has real-world consequences. Find out more as we end our "Silicon Valley vs SF" series. Plus we talk to @jovialjoy about A.I. ethics and her new book, Unmasking A.I.! https://t.co/aBICbZ9HqW

Our latest episode is about how to write violence in your fiction -- from fight scenes to big battles. How do you show the cost of violence, and make it count? We talked to @FondaJLee and @laurenbeukes at @RoseCityCC <3 https://t.co/nObcAn23wu

The Battlestar Galactica reboot launched twenty years ago, and it changed television forever. But how does it hold up? To find out, Charlie Jane went back and rewatched every single episode. https://t.co/lg31ZMnOOy

The latest @OOACpod makes me want to rewatch the Battlestar Galatica reboot although I know some parts will make me mad. I'm forever an Athena/Helo shipper though.

Our latest episode is about creativity: how did the "Death of the Author" change the way we look at writing? Will A.I. turn our brains into apps? Plus we talk to @mamohanraj about using A.I. in the classroom... https://t.co/uaLFh6aBlj

The novel 1984 kicked off a whole subgenre of dystopian novels that resembled it aesthetically -- but didn't share its politics. https://t.co/UQkx36OZMR We've made this patrons-only mini-episode FREE for all your nerd needs. And if you like it, consider becoming a patron!

We've learned so much about exoplanets in the past decade — including the incredibly strange eyeball Earths. We talked to @aomawa, astronomer and author of Life on Other Planets. And she explained why burnout is such a problem among Black women in STEM. https://t.co/Hf7oNneinQ

I have the impression that 90% of people who quote 1984 have no idea what the novel is about.
Tech leaders love to shout about free speech — and their favorite text to reference is 1984 by George Orwell. But do they really understand Orwell's seminal text? And how much freedom do we really have on the internet anyway? Our latest episode: https://t.co/LVv2pQDsHQ

Great @OOACpod episode getting into the nuances of what free speech is and isn't.
