#119 Bodies in the Water pt1 - Jack Mangan + Rachel Rosen!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:12:02 GMT

Episode 119! I thought I would spend some time with music of a futuristic or science fiction feel today. I found a song based on Blade Runner, one that is a rap on the LHC believe it or not, and one that might not strictly speaking be science fiction, but may well be the very direction our enjoyment of our favorite music tracks. There are a host of webisodes coming on line and I cover a couple. Bad news from the Star Gate Atlantis world, ESA's Rosetta closing in on its' hat trick, Image Matrix sets an extremely high bar with their simulation software, rocket scientists say that hunamity will never reach the stars! and Who Owns the Moon? As for a story, I did manage to get started with Jack Mangan's great story Bodies in the Water. Lots of good stuff today. Put your amps up to 11, Beam Me Up will rock you.

# 118 How the Music Begins -pt2 James van Pelt + how 2 clone U!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 00:09:05 GMT

Episode 118! with all that special goodness....ha! Part 2 of James Van Pelts How the Music Begins. Again, thank you very much James for your permission to read this fine short story. But in the first part of the hour, plenty of strangeness of all types, some short films this week - How to clone yourself, from the Onion - One astronaut's fat person NASA conspiracy, Toyota's newest commercial features what the world's highest sky dive might be like and One Air Canada traveler get a really unusual shot of a shuttle launch. In the news is how NASA plans to remedy the Aries launch rocket's vibration problem, Jordan's Wheel of Time series has a movie option, Cassini's newest flyby and even closer to real invisibility.

#117 How the Music Begins pt1 -James Van Pelt + Anime on YouTube

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 22:49:44 GMT

Well, we finish a gloomy week on a bright upbeat note! Episode 117 of Beam Me Up! This week's story is James Van Pelt's How the Music Begins, a real thoughtful piece about a group forced to survive under conditions bound to drive anyone over the edge. The group? A young high school band and the where? Now there's the big question. And for what reason? The final mystery. A truly wonderful story by Mr. Van Pelt. But first, from the blog, Like Goldilocks, our solar system may have had to have been, "just right" Space X does Scotty wrong, artificial blood analogues are banned, Adama to direct, Anime resources on YouTube and whats the deal with everything new being old again? huh?

#116 Cosmic Express - Jack Williamson + Gore Al!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 00:41:46 GMT

It's Episode 116 of Beam Me Up, for the first show in August of 2008. The story this week is a Science Fiction classic from Jack Williamson called The Cosmic Express. Ron Huber reads this story, so you get a double treat! From the Blog, Cowboy BeBop big screen possible, but with a Matrix twist? How about a silver screen treatment of Isaac Asimov's foundation? What would Hari say? Whats the best way to spy on US military bases? Call yourself a UFO that's how! H2O on the god of War, excellent desktop eye candy, some more fall out form the William Sanders Helix flack, major disappointment in the paleo world a musical treat, and Gore Al! Hang on, this episode speeds by faster than a speeding bullet!

#115 Pride pt 2 Mary Turzillo + Robot Girl!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:38:22 GMT

Thanks to Dave Tackett for the heads up! For some reason the programs mp3 seems to have gone through conversion when it shouldn't have which added double the code. I have since uploaded a new file. Episode 115 is now on tap! This week, part two of Mary Turzillo's excellent short story Pride. But first from the blog, a funny remake of Aqua's Barbie Girl called Robot Girl, Was Elvis a time traveler?, Jedi Gym, some excellent free ebook and audio fiction resources and Nasa's Nano D

#114 Pride pt1 Mary A. Turzillo + Aldrin say Science Fiction is BAD!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:39:44 GMT

Episode 114 of Beam Me Up! This week's story is part 1 of Mary A. Turzillo's short story "Pride". That posits what if the basic science idea of Jurassic Park were able to take place. The problem with movies like Jurassic Park is that through the weaknesses of the human being science will ultimately fail. Though Mary's venue is not a fancy amusement park and not T-Rexs are eating people, she posits, what would happen if a long dead animal from 10s of thousands of years ago were recreated. Mary's tale is much more humanistic and understandable and in my book, more enjoyable. From the blog, Apollo 11 Aldrin, seems to be having a break with reality, rants on Sci-fi, species relocation?, A new grand master, and a new set of robotic laws! All in all a good program enjoy!

#113 HAD - Shaun Saunders + Chicken Soup for Mars + Venus pt 2 Matt Jarpe

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 01:18:19 GMT

This week on Episode 113, The passing of Tom Disch is the major downer of the week. I start the rest of the hour with a story from Shaun Saunders. I run his short story H.A.D. as a prime example of how Science Fiction is on the bleeding edge of not only science but social and cultural dynamics. The tie in concerns new concerns in medicine and the age group they are aimed at. The story is disturbing in its own right, the truth is frightening. Plus AMC cable channel wants to one up SCI Fi, discussion on Tor Books release of free E-Books, does it benefit the authors? EOS is joining the free ebook fray - however I have reservations, Cambell and Sturgeon awards are out - with some drama thrown in with the Locus awards and at the bottom of the hour I play part two of Matthew Jarpe's Chicken Soup for Mars and Venus. Its 2 for a penny at the BMU penny candy store and you have a brand new quarter, enjoy!

#112 Chicken Soup for Mars & Venus pt 1 Matthew Jarpe

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:51:58 GMT

Standard weirdness on this weeks BMU episode 112. For the story, I start reading Matthew Jarpe's Chicken Soup for Mars and Venus which is a good space yarn in the spirit of the genre. You know the type, hardened loner finds if not true love, then something close in the middle of no where. I had great fun reading it, I think you will like it. From the blog, Weird UFO sightings, Another SF passing, Tor's newest e-book, a great find in the sf film world!, what killed the mammoths? and print- crime a step closer! Keep your eyes in the heavens and your hands inside the ride, its time for BMU!

# 111 Tomb Wife pt2 Gwyneth Jones + Uncertainty - Shaun Saunders

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:22:04 GMT

You up for 2 stories today? Great! First story is a quick tale from Shaun A. Saunders called Uncertainty. Very much in the style of the golden age of science fiction, Shaun's tale deals with cutting edge quantum physics. The "Uncertainty" in the story is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle - but far from being boring, Shaun spins a very clever tale. At the bottom of the hour I read the last half of The Tomb Wife by Gwyneth Jones, which is one of the Theodore Sturgeon finalists and was also featured in the Year's Best SF 13 by David Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer. (I will have a review of the collection soon) From the blog, Tor's newest freebie, more evidence that Mars took a big hit, Gravity tractor gets some traction, Canada to put up a NEO spy in the sky and a pocket full of sunshine.

# 110 The Tomb Wife pt1 Gwyneth Jones,+ do science with Chocolate!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:03:49 GMT

This week, in episode 110, I start reading The Tomb Wife by Gwyneth Jones. This is a very cerebral tale, not to say that you have to burn out a few synapses just to understand it, but what I mean is, that it deals with loneliness, loss, isolation and know that your life depends on everyone agreeing what the "world" is suppose to be like. Plus I really think Mz. Jones' version of FTL is very inventive. Not to say that the terms have not been bandied about, but getting inside the people's heads that have to deal with this very abnormal way of traveling. The Tomb Wife is up for a Sturgeon award, and you will find that it is an righteous nomination. From the blog, taking a picture of not with light, Charlie Jade is busted to the minors, Phoenix, did it or did it not find water?, Is there a "Planet X"?, and how to measure the speed of light with chocolate! Yes Willie Wonka never had a clue! Get your sweet tooth ready, its time for Beam Me Up! Music by Metek + Pythagora

#109 Tide Line - Elizabeth Bear + SkyNet is ONLINE!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:29:19 GMT

Episode 109, and get ready for an emotional rollercoast ride courtesy of Elizabeth Bear! Oh yes, Mz. Bear has graciously allowed me to read her award nominated short story Tide Line. I knew the first time I read this story that it was something special. Now up for 2 major awards, I guess I got it right! lol. This story aims at your emotional nether regions and is deadly accurate! I am sure you will enjoy it. From the blog, The Sturgeon Award finalists, Tor's newest, how would religion handle the coming....of aliens, Sky-Net is online, and a sad passing. Hands inside the ride at all times kiddies.... its time for Beam Me Up!

# 108 The Frozen One - Tim Pratt + 1984 is ripped a new one!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 03:15:52 GMT

Episode 108! Tim Pratt has graced us with a quirky short story called "The Frozen One" What makes it quirky? Well, you have heroes, heroines, monsters, swords, mythic battles ..... fantasy right? ummm no. Tim gives us a twist on the multiple universe theme, uhhh kinda! lol I think I do it justice. I found a very fitting piece of backing music from Kevin Macleod to kind of set the mood, without being obnoxious. From the blog: weirdness with black holes and white dwarfs. New pics from Phoenix and Ulysses ends its' mission. Review of F&SF's July issue, Charlie Jade on the Sci-fi channel, but Moonlight won't and the weirdest twist on 1984 - sock puppets! Note: There are a few minor instances of adult language Tim Pratt's main page: http://www.timpratt.org/ Kevin Macleod's main page: http://incompetech.com/

#107 Dark Integers-Greg Egan (con) + Star Trek Theme song final note

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 31 May 2008 23:12:51 GMT

It's Beam Me Up for May 31 2008! Episode 107. Get ready for the tense conclusion to Greg Egan's Dark Integers. That will play at the bottom of the hour. From the blog this week, The person who set the tone each week for the original Star Trek has left the building....but I did learn an interesting piece of trivia - What would inflation do to the Six Million Dollar Man? - Phoenix Lander observations - and a couple of really interesting animations. So get ready to go where no man has gone before: It's time for Beam Me Up!

# 106 Dark Integers by Greg Egan pt3 + neutrinos + Andromedia Strain

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 25 May 2008 00:58:12 GMT

Part three of Greg Egan's Hugo nominated story Dark Intergers. A truly amazing story that takes, advanced math, quantum physics and the fate of the known universe and mixes them all into high drama. A true Hugo level tale. But first from the blog, USA's IceCube neutrino detector, Ridley Scott does Andromeda Strain, Tasmanian Tiger redux, Burton's Frankenweenie and other more foolishness from the blog.

# 105 Dark Intergers pt2 Greg Egan, Let It Slide Shaun Saunders

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 18 May 2008 00:51:54 GMT

In the first episode of BMU's third year, I continue reading Dark Integers, the Hugo nominated story from Greg Egan. But the first story this week is a short from Shaun Saunders called Let It Slide, a wicked tale of what goes around comes around. From the blog, radiation concerns for long term space flight, what the real problems is with Speed Racer, review of Jemma 7729, a special offer for readers of the blog from F&SF, Witchblade movie possible, some science fiction movies GET the science right and how to survive a zombie attack!

# 104 Dark Intergers pt1 by Greg Egan + Air Force propaganda

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 10 May 2008 07:14:24 GMT

Episode 104 puts 2 years in the can! So, why not go out with a bang?! Back to the Hugos. This week I start reading Greg Egan's Dark Integers. Greg's story shows how math can get you into another whole world of trouble. For those of you that might think mathematics is a turn off, you will find this Hugo nominated tale an eye opener. From the blog, The Air Force is on a major propaganda binge, regrow body parts with pig bladder powder, the father of the transistor is with us no more, and other idiocy ...

# 103 Always by Karen Joy Fowler + Chicken Rex

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 04 May 2008 01:33:17 GMT

Beam Me Up episode 103! With the Nebula award winners being announced, I thought I would step away from the Hugo nominated stories to read one of the Nebula winners this week. Karen Joy Fowler has graciously agreed to let me read her award winning short story "Always" to you this week. "Always" is melancholy look at a woman's quest for imortality, of sorts, what she much give up and how it changes her. In the end you wonder if Always is a place or a state of being. Karen's autobiography can be found here - http://www.sfwa.org/members/Fowler/KJFInfo.html - From the blog, Nebula awards, Asimov SF magazine and Analog SF magazine's reader award winners, Nasa offers its own version of immortality, Jelly-bot, space boomerangs, Tesseracts Eleven review, Escape Velocity magazine news, and Chicken Rex Photo by Laurie Roberts

# 102 A Small Room in Koboltown pt 2 Michael Swanwick + Bum Bot

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:21:36 GMT

It's Beam Me Up episode 102! We continue on in the Hugo tradition with part 2 of Michael Swanwick's "A Small Room in Koboltown" which has been nominated for a Hugo in the short story division. I hope your enjoying this story as much as I did reading it. If anything, part two goes a step further in revealing the seedier underbelly ofSwanwick's fascinating world. From the blog, Bum Bot, Peta tube steak challenge, Sueded Star Wars, Dark Vader get an arrest warrant, Terminator tv and movie get reprieve. Tor is Free E-bookin again, the do's and Don't of being a sci-fi fan plus other strangeness.

#101 A Small Room in Koboltown pt1 by Michael Swanwick

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:31:00 GMT

I start of the second centi of shows with another Hugo nominated short story. This week part one of "A Small Room in Koboltown" by Michael Swanwick. This story can best be described (in my humble opinion) as Mixing Harry Potter and Sin City with maybe a Sam Spade garnish! A neat piece of speculative fiction where ghosts,bogarts, trolls, demons and who knows what else exist side by side with humans, magic and science in balance. Mix in quasi corrupt politicians and murder and you have a fast paced romp in a city that could be New Orleans once universe over. From the blog: Apophis - could we be in for a closer brush?, robot Sherlock Holmes?, can Speilberg do Ghost in the Shell?, do some bugs communicate by smelling their own farts?, Sarah Jane Chronicles first impressions, First mammal to Mars could be an ape?!, your living 10 seconds in the past and a totally unforgettable musical version of the Star Wars cantina. This week's story contains instances of strong adult language that some listeners might find objectionable. Michael Swanwick Photo Allen Batson

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 22:16:38 GMT

It's episode 100! whoooooooooohoooooo! no applause, just send money! For this week's program, at the top of the hour, Shaun Saunders sends us a very dark, "Local News", which casts a suspicious eye on the inner working of you local news gathering institution. At the bottom, I read part two of Ken MacLeod's Hugo nominated short story, "Who's Afraid of Wolf 359?" which answers the question of when life throws you lemons... From the blog, TOMO becomes a feature, while some others might have passed on. Military cyber-warfare, Boeing shenanigans, robotic mishaps on the battlefield, Stargate Universe and good bye to CH

#97 Tribute to Arthur C. Clarke + Dawn Sunset + the Colors of the Earth con. By Michael F. Flynn

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:48:59 GMT

In light of the passing of Arthur C. Clarke I am spending the first part of the hour as a bit of a personal tribute to AC. I have some personal thoughts and comments from a few of the regulars on the blog. From the BBC I have a snippet from an interview with Terry Pratchett who speaks on the better known accomplishments of Sir Arthur. In Clarke's own words I have a message he recorded on his 90th birthday outlining some of the things he would still like to see come to pass. Also it's a bit of a thank you and good bye to his fans that is bound to affect even the most hard hearted amongst us. For the balance of the hour, I play the conclusion to Michael F. Flynn's Dawn Sunset and the Colors of the Earth. A moment of silence for the passing of an era please....... Now on to episode 97 of Beam Me Up.

#96 Dawn Sunset + Colors of the Earth - Flynn + The Best things in Life - Saunders

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:38:08 GMT

For this week's program, episode 96, I read two stories. First I read Shaun Saunders short story, The Best Things in Life..." and at the bottom of the hour I read part 4 of "Dawn Sunset and the Colors of the Earth" by Michael F. Flynn. From the blog, Cassini makes a dramatic fly through, how to take down a t800, a look at life on the ISS, a space ARK?, schedule move up of Stargate Atlantis, Myth-busters do Apollo and more. For a musical interlude, I found "Hail to the Geek" by Deaf Pedestrians. I do want to advise listeners that this program contains some adult language and situations. Though appropriate for most audio groups, some listeners might be offended. So get yourself some snackies and snuggle in, its time for Beam Me Up!

#95 Dawn Sunset + the Colors of the Earth pt3 by Michael F. Flynn

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 21:57:28 GMT

Episode 95!! The Blog is chocker-block full today. For our story, I continue to read Dawn Sunset and the Colors of the Earth by Michael F. Flynn, this week its part 3. From the blog, why the movie Johnny Mnemonic has suddenly become quaint, evidence that life came from the asteroids, Earth may be staring down the barrel of a gamma - ray burst The Sci-Fi channel has a "Water World" remake in the works, Wasteland stories of the Apocalypse has listed some of it's stories online, Adventure Books starts a podcast and more!

#94 Dawn Sunset & Color of the Earth - Michael Flynn pt2

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 01:04:15 GMT

P repair to board episode 94 me hearties! Arggggggggh. Ah well, something like that. On tap for this week's program is part 2 of “Dawn Sunset and the Color of the Earth” by Michael Flynn. Again, even though it's very mild, there are some strong language and adult situations. Though I strongly feel that the material is totally appropriate, for any reader or listener, some might be offended. This section of the story contains what I feel is one of the most heartfelt portions of the story, I am sure you will agree that these two sections, are very powerful. From the blog, The strange case of the Wilhelm Scream, research suggests that there is a massive planet out past Pluto, 20 novels that changed science fiction, The Nebula Award finalists nominees, electronic tattoos and much more strangeness. Come about helmsman, its time for Beam Me Up!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:31:23 GMT

Episode 93! Yep, getting closer to the big double 00. Hey! I know what you're thinking, and don't go there. This week, I start on a longer story, yes, Michael F. Flynn has agreed to let me read his story Dawn Sunset and the Colors of the Earth. A multi-vignette spun with the central core of a retelling of the Bermuda Triangle. Told from multiple viewpoints and different methods of story telling, Michael not only shows us why he is a Hugo level writer, but also gives us a damn good yarn to boot. From the blog, Space has BO, The Navy shows that if you use a big enough rock....The French “Daily Program”, Tor gives away the Old Man War, WTF is Kyle XY? And a few other raves.

#92 A World is Born pt2 & Formalhaut 451 Simon Petrie

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 21:59:07 GMT

Show 92 is a twofer! Before I start reading the news from the blog I read Simon Petrie's Fomalhaut 451 about a space station that mysteriously stops functioning. This is the first time I have read Simon's work and I am very impressed. I hope to read more of his stories. At the bottom of the hour Ron continues his read of Leigh Brackett's A world is Born. Which has convicts teraforming Mercury. Good golden age space opera! From the blog, Tor is giving away books, a new Gene Roddenberry project, a personal helicopter, oil wells on Titan?, is teleportation possible? And your desktop may be being invaded!

Hey, lets do some retro Sci-fi. Ron Huber is going to read Leigh Brackett's "A World is Born" this week. Well part one at least! I listened to the run through and I think your going to love Ron's rendition, very lively and Ron really gets into the read. From the blog, I take a look at the straight to web program staring Amanda Tapping called Sanctuary, the controversy dealing with the age of modern birds, new autonomous subs, Quantum Universes via Super Mario, Mach V airliners are on the drawing board but the rides won't be cheap, a new lab to the ISS, a new FireFly novel that IS cheap and robots attack suburbia!

#90 Eight Episodes -Robert Reed + Cybog Moss

Episode 90 of BMU fellow travelers! Rather auspicious would you not agree? I should get something for reaching these lofty heights...right? Huh...everyone is a comedian. Ah well anyway, I think this week will have something for everyone. From the blog – Ron does an excellent review of the new science fiction magazine Escape Velocity, a rather interesting and ummm revealing photo of Kate Moss, new findings on the brain and memory, the controversy over the CalTec paper that equates reading science fiction with stupidity, a real world 'Urban Monad' game designers designing the game that 'Ender' Wiggins played, the first creative commons anime short from the UK called Codehunters. And finally, this week's story is “Eight Episodes” by Robert Reed, which deals with alien contact bin in a totally strange manner. Climb in, strap in, its time to begin. Beam Me Up

#89 Four Eyes by Tobias Buckell + Weird Martian life?

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 02:54:04 GMT

Welcome travelers! Today's voyage takes us to places with a certain Caribbean flavor. Tobias Buckell sets the tone today with his thoughtful piece "Four Eyes". When old world tradition clash with modern culture, often the battle is won in the heart. From the blog, designer life, weird life on Mars? Nasa's new moon rocket may shake rattle and ..... How about bionic I spy? Oh and I don't think the Israelis have been watching the Terminator movies.... It should prove to be a very entertaining trip this program....Enjoy the ride!

#88 Windrider by Jack McDevitt + Summertime terminators!

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 01:14:32 GMT

In Episode 88 I have the great pleasure to read Jack McDevitt's Windrider which first appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine in July 1994. Which tells the tale of two devotees who discover much about their faith. I think you will find Jack's story every bit as interesting and diverting as I did. From the blog, 15 ways to tell your already living in the future, 75 words every science fiction fan should know. News on the Mercury Messenger spacecraft close encounter with the inner-most planet. New books from Edge publication, comments on the Sarah Connor's Chronicles and ZOMBIE RAT HEARTS!!!!!

#87 The Defenders - Colin P. Davies + Hypochondriac - Shaun A. Saunders

Beam Me Up Paul Cole — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 02:32:58 GMT

Well kiddies it's web weirdness and a Beam Me Up twofer on show 87! To open, a short from Shaun Saunders called Hypochondriac - What if your wilded paranoid feelings were right and for once you really were sick, but in the strangest way possible. I finish with another story From Colin P. Davies book, Tall Tales on the Iron Horse called The Defenders. A heart breaking tale that asks the question, at what price the defense of a world. How far would you go and what happens if you go too far. From the Blog, The Milky way is about to collide with a huge hydrogen cloud, "wasteful" art, bionic skin and laser assassinations! The weirdometer is at full scale, take appropriate precautions, it's time for Beam Me Up!
