This is a “Seth’s picks” episode of the podcast, still Science Fiction related this time, with the classic 1959 nuclear war novel Alas, Babylon. Joining me for the podcast is returning guest Mitch Wagner.

I noticed there are some pops and crackles on Mitch’s audio, and I did my best to clear them up, but some still snuck through.

Spoiler talk begins at 19 minutes.

  1. Side issue: I absolutely love this cover. So tired of the floral, text-focused or spacescape treatments currently popular on SF/fantasy covers.
