From Howard Margolin:

This week, Destinies is live to speak with an author whose background in philosophy and computer science gives him the drive to not write what he's seen done before, making each of his books a completely different experience.

Tune in on Friday night at 11:15, as Marc Vun Kannon makes his sixth in-studio appearance to discuss and read from his latest novel The Flame in the Bowl: Into the Breech.

Learn about Korrien Thar, a Double, who shares her form with a male self. Find out how Thar finds herself in service to Death, and why Death needs her to find the lost, unbodied soul of Demlas Tarkas, the original hero of the series, a man she has never met, on the strength of a story.

How does this novel continue the saga that Marc began over twenty years ago, and where will it go from here?

Find out on Friday, October 18th, at 11:15 PM, when host Howard Margolin speaks with author Marc Vun Kannon on a special, live Fall Radiothon edition of Destinies-The Voice of Science Fiction.

In this episode of SOUNDS OF FILM, Tom Needham interviews Zack Weiner, actor and co-writer of “Bad Shabbos” and “Citizen Weiner,” alongside director Daniel Robbins. They delve into their creative process and discuss the making of two distinct films, each exploring different facets of modern life.

Traversing time, space and genre, Argentinian filmmaker Lisandro Alonso's EUREKA is an elliptical meditation on the experiences of indigenous communities across the Americas. Opening in a dusty town of the Old West, reality soon transitions to contemporary South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation before finally landing in the jungles of 1970s Brazil. As the triptych unfolds, each temporal and spatial shift provokes metaphysical questions about colonial influence on native peoples and the ever-present tensions between indigeneity and the Western world. The film features three-time Academy Award nominee, Viggo Mortensen.
