I love this quote. Sure it works on a surface ‘human dumb hurh durh’ level but also any sentient life in our universe may very well be literally too intelligent to even register us. But also, what the hell are we doing right now?! 💙📚 #aliens #kubrik #writingcommunity

5 Things I Have Learned About Writing Since Starting a Podcast with Best Selling Author Nicholas Binge (Ascension, Dissolution, Extremity) #writingcommunity #podcast #learning #author #brbc

Weewoowerwoo! New show, new episode, new artwork! This month on Speed Binges we read 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke. And we have the wonderful Crystal from the @basedonabook.bsky.social podcast come tell us what makes a great movie adaptation Linktree: linktr.ee/stetpodcasts... 💙📚

Thursday 16th episode 3 of Speed Binges is out! Crystal from the @basedonabook.bsky.social podcast joined us to tell us about what makes a great adaptation. So we chose the only option 2001: a space odyssey by Arthur C Clarke Tune in wherever you get your #podcasts @jojomagoo.bsky.social

Currently reading Arthur C Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and I had to make this cause it’s all I could think about. Not sure which I would prefer either, HAL 9000 or HAL GPT? @basedonabook.bsky.social @bingewriting.bsky.social 💙📚 🚀💙

We welcome @lrlam.bsky.social on the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast! We read The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social. A marvellous fantasy that combines love, nation building, tragedy and time travel! L also breaks down how Harrow utilises the time travel trope to best serve the plot. 💙📚

A busy week of shows with some brilliant guests! @ukpageone.bsky.social @theconversation.bsky.social @bingereadingbooks.bsky.social

Is it just me or… Una Everlasting and Owen Malory? @lrlam.bsky.social @alixeharrow.bsky.social

Just started season 2 - they find the One Piece this season right? Right?

I must say, I used to fully addicted (maybe still am) to doom scrolling. But reading regularly and with purpose has massively remedied this. Even after just a couple of hours of reading a proper physical paper book, I feel calmer and my mood lifted. I wonder if anyone else feels this way 🤔 💙📚

Delighted to be having *draws deep breath* USA Today and Sunday Times Bestselling award-winning author L.R. Lam on the podcast next week! Lam will be dissecting The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow, and how it can help us improve our writing craft. 💙📚 #writingcommunity #podcast @lrlam.bsky.social

Questions of the day - in these bizarre and trying times, how can fiction be any weirder than reality? Best selling author @bingewriting.bsky.social breaks down HBO’s The Chair Company to help us understand if it’s weird fiction! linktr.ee/stetpodcasts #qotd 💙📚 #writingcomunity #television

Ayoooooooo we watched The Chair Company (HBO, 2025, Tim Robinson) The latest episode of our new spin off Speed Binges is out now! Honestly this gif sums up exactly how I felt watching this show Wherever you get your #podcasts linktr.ee/stetpodcasts #hbo #comedy #writingcommunity

Lots of different types of episodes for you this week from @theconversation.bsky.social, @bingereadingbooks.bsky.social and @ukpageone.bsky.social

I feel like this quote is particularly poignant in this climate of uncertainty. 💙📚

‘Water? Never touch the stuff. Fish **** in it…’

My Banksian spaceship name generator: 1. Take the first function word from the James Bond film released nearest your birthday 2. Take 3 initials of the first street you lived on 3. 1st= any word related to manufacturing 4. 2nd= any verb 5. 3rd= grab a book, first word starting with this initial 💙📚

Want to level up your writing? Well that’s exactly what this podcast is here for, you silly goose! Authors Nicholas Binge and David Goodman help us understand how to implement paratext correctly using Excession by Iain M Banks as the gold standard! ⬇️podcast link⬇️ linktr.ee/stetpodcasts

🚨New episode ‼️ Brilliant author David Goodman @davegoodman.bsky.social takes us on a paratextual tour of Excession by Iain M Banks! linktr.ee/stetpodcasts Dave helps us understand why paratext is sometimes the best tool for conveying intricate relationships in a novel. 💙📚 #podcasts

A day late, but here is this week's schedule, with some great episodes lined up! @theconversation.bsky.social @bingereadingbooks.bsky.social @ukpageone.bsky.social

Dave Goodman (guest on the next show coming Thursday) has decided to torture me with an incredibly long and complicated book. While I thought I had the capacity to enjoy any and all sci-fi, this one is a struggle. @davegoodman.bsky.social why did you pick Excession for the bookclub? 💙📚

Currently reading sci fi classic Excession by Ian M banks and I definitely feel I could do with an expurgated version… 💙📚

4. I’ve read a few far-far future dystopian SF/fantasy novels lately, even tho it’s not a favorite subgenre. But Jemisin’s vision of feared born earth manipulators & deadly weather events is fascinating. I had trouble keeping the POV characters straight, but there’s a good reason for that. #booksky

🚨Introducing Speed Binges🚨 Quick episodes all about story telling but not strictly about books. Favorite Films, TV Shows, and albums are on the table! For this first episode Nicholas INSISTED we do his own book which he has been harping on about all Year! Wherever you get podcasts or in comments💙📚

Introducing Speed Binges!!! Because once a month was not quite enough, we are introducing mini interstitial episodes where we share our favorite films, TV shows, albums, or novellas! Starting off with a book - Extremity by Our very own Nicholas Binge @bingewriting.bsky.social 💙📚

You and me both, Kazuo, you and me both 💙📚

How much dignity do you have? A question we strive to answer in the latest episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast! linktr.ee/stetpodcasts Best selling author Nicholas Binge tells us all about psychological realism in The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro 💙📚 #podcast #writingcommunity

Repost reminder! Really looking for peoples theories on the end of Extremity by Nicholas Binge!

To your diaries folks. Make your commutes/runs/downtime that little bit more fun and interesting :^ )

🚨Calling all fans of Sci-fi and headcannon🚨 Have you read Extremity by Nicholas Binge? We will be talking about the ending and we want to hear YOUR theories as to what it means or might imply! Share your theories below so i can present them to him on the show @bingewriting.bsky.social 💙📚

Only a Brit could write a romance novel completely devoid of affection! I guess it goes part and parcel with the ‘ol’ stiff upper lip wot wot?’ Attitude that a gentleman should not show any affection I also can’t imagine the adaptation of Remains of the day could possibly catch the subtelties 💙📚

It’s recording day! So far we have read sci-fi, horror, thrillers, and fantasy and yet Remains of the Day is the novel that has baffled me the most. I cannot wait to hear what @bingewriting.bsky.social has to say about it because it feels illegal to tell so little plot with so many words! 💙📚

Not normally one for reposting this type of material but I had to just for hilarious comment section! And we do read Xenos for the pod so it’s kind of linked :^ )

First author to win the Hugo Award three times in a row and first African-American author to win a Hugo award. Best selling author Nicholas binge @bingewriting.bsky.social dissects how N.K. Jemisin @nkjemisin.bsky.social crafts a beautiful narrative in The Fifth Season tr.ee/HacUTvKRRW 💙📚

Ooohoooo I don’t even need to make my own posts anymore! We talk narrative twists, Nick’s arch rivalry with @yumewrites.bsky.social , allegories, and we have the first annual HUGOs AWARDS (not the Hugo Awards - you must pronounce the S)

Well well well what a wonderful early Christmas present from @sunyidean.com Perfect for the winter break! 💙📚

I really struggled with The Fifth Season by N.k. Jemisin. Today is recording day of the #podcast and I am reaaaally looking forward to hearing what Nicholas Binge has to say to help me understand it better. I do quite enjoy the idea that sequels may involve an MC Majora’s Mask-ing the world! 💙📚

Just us or has this episode of Love, Death and Robots become an absolute Christmas classic in your household too?

For some reason my book club decided to read my arch rival @bingewriting.bsky.social new book DISSOLUTION this month and unfortunately I’m really enjoying it.

Currently reading The 5th Season by N.K. Jemisin but there is something I’m struggling with. 1/3 of the story is written in 2nd person - essentially placing you, the reader, in the story which I find really hard to digest and engage with. Any tips on how to approach this type of reading? 💙📚 💬💙
