The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[zeebo]

It's just some weird ass shit Richard found about Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, which is just more outdated sci fi from decades ago taken as though it was written yesterday. Trantor was the galactic empire capitol. Apparently that's Pluto now or some shit.

Yep and also Pohl's Heechee are hangin' out there, and Clarke's monoliths are found there, and Burrough's John Carter lives there.

Something not quite right for a full grown man to constantly cry...just saying..

[littlechris]

I'm new to OSOM. Is their a listener guide that comes with the show? Im lost.

[TigerLily]

Is this a made-for-tv version of Asimov's Foundation?

Trantor is Empire but didn't know there was a TV thing. Maybe BBC?

[flimflam384]

The braaping is getting louder, lol.

Hahaha, yes.

Braaps and welcome flimflam!

[SciFiAuthor]

Ugh, Jesus Richard, glass is a stupid fucking material to use and domes are fucking stupid structures to build. Your ancient civilization was a group of engineering morons.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Just think of him as a big teddybear...call in and ask him about that Zippo and
if the guest last night was inhaling the hobbit's leaf.

LOL - Joseph's had a zippo for years. You can hear it in his older interviews too if you listen carefully
