Welcome to The Coode Street Podcast, an informal weekly discussion about science fiction and fantasy featuring award-winning critics and editors Jonathan Strahan and Gary K. Wolfe. The Coode Street Podcast debuted in 2010 and has been nominated for the Hugo, British Science Fiction, and Aurealis awards.
This week we are joined by Hugo and Nebula Award winning writer Kim Stanley Robinson to discuss generation starships, how we might live in space, how space opera is becoming a subset of fantasy and his exciting new novel Aurora—due July 7 from Orbit. We are delighted to be able to present what is one of the first major discussions about this extraordinary new novel, which we think will prove to be one of the standout SF novels of 2015.

I stopped reading Kim Stanley Robinson quite a few books ago ,finding him old-fashioned and irrelevant. However, this excellent and interesting podcast sent me to pre-order Aurora. I enjoy Coode Street very much – and I usually find something new to read and always something new to think about . Keep it up !
Hi marciab – Glad you’re enjoying the podcast! As you can probably tell, I was very impressed with Aurora. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of it, once you’ve had a chance to check it out and ponder it a little. Best, Jonathan
