b'As the blazing eye of summer fixates on the Northern Hemisphere, John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson call upon a special guest FROM THE FUTURE! From the wintry land of Australia, Locus Award-winning editor Jonathan Strahan rides over from the Coode Street podcast to discuss SFF anthology creation, \\u201cpeak short story,\\u201d and the publishing environment for short fiction past, present, and future! Also: Can you really can claim to have \\u201cnothing to read\\u201d given the several dozen sources of periodical fiction (and hundreds of anthologies) that we have access to these days? Unlike the Dawn of Time when the Hoarsemen were young and had to walk twelve miles, uphill, both ways, in the snow, to buy magazine fiction\\u2026 Finally, we once again attempt to separate money from your wallet with all of the titles that we\\u2019ve read since the last show. Comics! Books! Roleplaying games! Heavens, we\\u2019re even spreading it out to our families.'
