On Mondays I usually WFH; much easier to have a quick supper and then drive to band rehearsal. But no rehearsal tonight, AND after a long weekend, extroverts need to be with people. Happy to be here with my wonderful colleagues!

OMG, I just listened to yesterday's episode and heard it was your last one (for now)! Many thanks for countless fascinating eps and guests, and of course the books by both of you. Yes, breathe + reset + do other stuff for a while. Best wishes!
I can't believe we've completed 7 years of this glorious pod. It's been amazing to share our opinions with all of you!! @charliejane.bsky.social and I are slowly dreaming up our next project, which we will share with you sometime in 2026!!! For now, farewell and thanks for all the fish.
It's our last episode! We're so grateful to everyone who's listened to us for the past 7 years.
We're using this occasion to talk about the state of science fiction and fantasy in the 21st century — and what has shaped the stories we've loved.

For those in America who will be in rooms with TVs tuned to football during this long Thanksgiving weekend, either by choice or not, you have a great chance to explain accessibility concepts. No, this is not a joke. Yes, this is based on past experiences. Yes, it has totally worked!
