The Incomparable Superfeed

In the aftermath of Bulleye’s attack on the Fisk familly an old friend of Matt’s shows up to put an end to the gun problem in Star City. Bibi and Daniel spend a little time together for his birthday while Matt pays Wilson a visit to offer his condolences. Dan is away this week but we’re confident he’d have loved this episode. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Listener Jason used ChatGPT to find information that answered a colleague’s question. But did he “look it up?” John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

We have Predator armor at home. Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

By request, we take on this late-50s musical, directed by Stanley Donan. Our stars are Fred Astaire, Audrey Hepburn and Kay Thompson. (I’ll have lots to say about Kay.) Revolving, as it does around the fashion industry in Paris, Funny Face is pretty to look at, including many great costumes. It also features songs by the Gershwins and some better ones that are not by them. Shelly Brisbin with David Almeida, Lisa Schmeiser, Micheline Maynard, Erika Ensign and David J. Loehr.

A special Book Club panel provides an overview of Lois McMaster Bujold’s excellent Penric & Desdemona series of fantasy novellas (plus one novel). This series gives its characters time to learn, grow, and age. It’s got some perspectives you don’t see very often in fantasy fiction. We love it and think you will, too. Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Kat Benesh and Dan Moren.
