Mike, Oren, and Chris explore how science fiction is used to comment on contemporary issues. From dystopian novels to Vietnam War analogies, they share the stories that brought their message home, and deconstruct those that missed their mark.

Is it possible to get transcripts of these podcasts? I really love them but would like a written version.
We’d love to be in a position to offer transcripts, unfortunately it’s just not within our means right now. Even paid transcription software produces a jumbled, unreadable mess, and human transcribers simply cost more than we can afford.
One option we’re looking at in the future is asking for volunteers to take what the software spits out and edit it into legibility. Mythcreants would pay for the software use, and anyone who’s really passionate would be able to give the gift of a transcript to all.
Okay, I understand. Thank you, and I think that would be a good idea to do. I’m sure the community would like it
