I first heard of the Australian speculative fiction podcast Galactic Suburbia here at Hoyden About Town in 2011 and then promptly didn’t listen to it for a further three years, until I found myself doing just enough driving and sitting around watching children’s swimming lessons to make podcasts worthwhile, at which point I promptly subscribed and it became a fave.
And a great time it was to subscribe too, because they were in the countdown to their 100th episode, which has been up on their site for nearly a week. I probably will never count as a real Galactic Suburbia fan, because I don’t intend to go back and listen from episode 1 as many new fans apparently still do, and I am not making an actual Galactic Suburbia-themed cake for their contest (but perhaps you should! entries close 27th May), but here’s the next best thing.
First, a picture of a cake! Not my cake! But a cake!

And second, a note that you can pick up the Galactic Suburbia Scrapbook at Twelfth Planet Press, including several interview transcripts. (Accessibility note: as Lauredhel noted in 2011, Galactic Suburbia is not regularly transcribed.)
Happy 100th!

Tansy Rayner-Roberts has started a new serial based on the Three Musketeers in space gender swapped. The first chapter is available now. Will hunt down the link. Is most enjoyable.
oohoohoohooh I mean _splendid_.

Allow me to assure you that there is absolutely no prereq for you to go back and listen to all of the eps 😀 Because that’s a whole lot of the three of us… and there is a possibility of getting very sick of us…
(btw awesome cake!)
