What have you been listening to?
Exolore, which I'm finding very relaxing, just a bunch of nerds geeking out about planets. In this episode, they worked up an aquatic moon along the lines of Europa. Featuring matrilineal squids!

I've forgotten to comment on these lately - but thanks for recommending Exolore in the previous post, I checked it out and I love it! Since I'm planning to write some space sci-fi, it's exactly what I needed. Plus, it's just fun and interesting to listen to! Apparently it used to be a live show, but the pandemic forced them to go online instead, and they started broadcasting it as a podcast as well.

That's really my main new discovery later - I'm also checking out a podcast called The Fax Machine, after one of their hosts guested on Exolore.

In fiction podcasts, I finished my re-listen of The Far Meridian, and have started on the post-S2 minisodes that came out recently. In The Penumbra Podcast, I've listened to The Sportive Nymphs and have started on Juno Steel and the Long Way Home - so the end of S2 is actually in sight, unbelievably. Though I'm still more than a year and a half behind where the show is currently!

I've started checking out some new fiction podcasts, and the main ones I've progressed on are Under the Electric Stars (cyberpunk by and with people of colour and queer people), and Valence (which has Ishani Kanetkar! and there are other interesting things about it, too). And I listened to the part one of Moonbase Remixed. It felt so weird to hear all these different people's takes on Roger, but also really cool. Going to start on part 2 soon. And apparently the prequel series is finally becoming generally available.
