Summary

Recorded July 27, 2025

What if it was the Earth… but different? This week, Nate and Ryan discuss new TVs, water parks, and alternate earth stories. That discussion culminates in The Calculating Stars, a book by Mary Robinette Kowal in which they discuss the possibility of social change, being just the character the story needs, and the science in science fiction.
