A happy scifi-podcast new year everyone!
In the calm days between christmas and new year i constantly flip between 'i should get some work done' and 'pff', so here's some Fractal Gardens (Opens in a new window) and a bunch of (german) podcasts instead (Opens in a new window).
These Fractal Gardens (Opens in a new window) are my favorite Stable Diffusion generations this year and you can read some background at the link.
Most of the podcasts are scifi radioplays except for “Wer hat Angst vorm Drachenlord”, a podcast about the biggest and most ridiculous case of cybermobbing in germany and maybe worldwide, which is, in a very real non-fictiony sense, an absolute nightmare and super-dystopian. I’ve written extensively about the case over the years, my latest piece on this was Das Drachengame als Symptom der Psychopathologie des Schwarms (Opens in a new window).
You’ll also find some old radioplays of scifi-classics by the Strugatzki-brothers, Stanislav Lem, Herbert Franke and Philip K. Dick and all of them are worthwile in these last days of another bonkers year.
Happy new 2023, everyone!
