About this listen

We'll explore socially conscientious fiction that’s relevant, thought-provoking, and most important, entertaining. We'll discuss the subtler aspects of such stories buried beneath the surface in select contemporary novels.


Such well-written fiction can hint at or bludgeon the reader with socially relevant issues that hopefully appear as compelling backdrops to engaging tales of conflict, action, suspense, or drama; issues such as the intended and unintended consequences of technology--like artificial intelligence--that impact our daily lives, or those around us. Or alcoholism, physical and emotional handicaps, climate impacts, etc.


Find the joy in exploring such real issues that affect real people, but from within the comfortable cradle of kick-ass fiction. How cool is that!
