Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1062 - AirSpace podcast - 2001
Hi Mom,
This is one of those blog posts that's like a book mark to save something for future viewing or listening. I learned of this podcast via Monica Byrne, and so I have added a post for it here and have added it to my list that I keep on Pocket Casts.
Check it out!! I did.
It's good.

AirSpace Ep.5:
2001: An AirSpace Odyssey
2001: An AirSpace Odyssey
Posted on Thu, April 12, 2018
Open the podcast doors, HAL.
It’s the 50th anniversary of one of the slowest, strangest, and yet, most referenced science fiction films of all time – 2001: A Space Odyssey. It may be your FAVORITE movie, or, quite possibly, you’ve never actually seen it in its 142-minute entirety. Emily, Matt, and Nick break it down for you – CliffsNotes on the plot, the collaborations that made the film so realistic, and the first peeks at technologies that really exist today. Become cocktail party conversant about why a 50 year old science fiction movie remains so relevant and what current sci-fi says about our world today and the years ahead.
Mentioned in This Episode
Monica Byrne: Reading List
- Science Fiction writers who explore the sacrifice that leads to utopia: Octavia Butler“Octavia Butler's books very much engage with utopias...however they grew. They go through hell to achieve it on an individual and societal level. And that doesn't mean that it's not achievable it just means that there is tremendous sacrifice involved in getting there.”
- Authors that should volunteer to live on Mars: Kim Stanley Robinson author of The Mars Trilogy: Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars
- Communities rising from disaster : A Paradise Built in Hell (history not science fiction) by Rebecca Solnit
- Writing about human happiness without sacrificing realism: Ursula K. Le Guin's website, New York Times memorial/obit

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
