‘Blood of Zeus’ Combines Myth With Saturday Morning Cartoons

The new Netflix series Blood of Zeus presents a fresh spin on Greek mythology, featuring familiar characters such as Poseidon, Ares, and Cerberus. Science fiction author Zach Chapman enjoyed the show’s epic battle sequences. “It’s the same studio that did the animation work on Castlevania, so it’s the same kind of blood-and-guts and level of awesome fighting,” Chapman says in Episode 455 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. “If you liked Castlevania, definitely check this out.” Podcast https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/https://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/geeksguide455final.mp3 RSS iTunes Download Fantasy author...

What Would It Take to Actually Settle an Alien World?

David Gerrold is the author of dozens of science fiction books, including The Martian Child and The Man Who Folded Himself. His new novel Hella, about a low-gravity planet inhabited by dinosaur-like aliens, was inspired by the 2011 TV series Terra Nova. “The worldbuilding that they did was very interesting, very exciting, but because I was frustrated that they didn’t go in the direction I wanted to go, I was thinking, ‘Let me do a story where I can actually...

Mrs. Coulter Is One of the Best Villains on TV

The HBO series His Dark Materials, based on the novels by Philip Pullman, recently concluded a strong second season. Fantasy author Erin Lindsey was particulary impressed with the show’s lead villain, Mrs. Coulter, played by Ruth Wilson. “The performance of Mrs. Coulter and the way that she’s written are just so brilliant in this series, I can’t get enough of it,” Lindsey says in Episode 453 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast.

‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Is a Lot Better Than You’d Expect

When it comes to ideas for a TV show, a humorous Star Trek cartoon doesn’t necessarily seem like a winner. But screenwriter Rafael Jordan says that the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks compares favorably to live action shows such as Picard and Discovery. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but I was really won over by the third or the fourth episode,” Jordan says in Episode 451 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast....

Ranger RCI X9 AM SSB Export Radio – New SSB radio coming from Ranger! | CB Radio Magazine

We’re excited to see some early news about a new radio from Ranger and it’s got SSB! It has a small form factor for size (more like a President Lincoln) but with traditional style controls rather than buttons. Since the size is smaller perhaps it’s using a new board design but we won’t know until we get our hands on one. Some interesting early points about it – Dimensions 7-3/8 (W) x 8-3/4 (D) x 2-1/4 (H) Inches – This is...

Turner Super Sidekick Desk Microphone Overview – Classic Black and Chrome | CB Radio Magazine

This week we got a chance to enjoy another classic, the Turner Super Sidekick Desk Microphone. Not quite as sophisticated as the Turner +3 but still a very popular microphone. I did do some quick testing and while it performed well on SSB it didn’t sound as clear as a Turner +3 (in my opinion), especially on AM. Lots of people love these and swear by them for SSB so it’s definitely a very popular desk microphone. Also check out...

Comparing audio on random CB radios for unscientific fun | CB Radio Magazine

When you don’t have any new products to review what do you do? Start playing around with random radios and making on air recordings 🙂 There is no purpose to these tests other than just to show what different random radios and microphones can sound like on the air – however some were hacked up, some were actually tuned, and some we have no idea of the history. If you ever wonder why everyone sounds so different on the radio...
