🪐 Across the Galactic Airwaves

The Monsters Came by Night

The Horror in the Hold
🎙️ From the Galactic Booth
Some stories are more complicated than others—especially when there are multiple characters. Keeping their voices consistent is the real trick! The first time a character speaks, I record and export that line as a reference clip. When they speak again, I listen to that sample to match their tone perfectly. For recurring characters like Lancelot Biggs, I’ve made his voice so distinct I never need a reminder.
🔭 Spotlight — Fritz Leiber
Fritz Leiber bridged the gap between pulp adventure and literary sophistication. From Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser to modern psychological horror, his range reshaped speculative fiction forever.
We’ve featured many of his unforgettable stories on the podcast: Try and Change the Past, The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet, and The Black Ewe.
🧠 Lost Sci-Fi Deep Cuts — The Night Wire
*The Night Wire* (1926) vanished along with its mysterious author. Two telegraph operators begin receiving news from a city that shouldn’t exist…
📜 From the Archives — Human Is by Philip K. Dick
In Human Is, Philip K. Dick reminds us that humanity isn’t defined by form, but by empathy. A quiet meditation on love, change, and what being human truly means.
