• BBC's Listen Again feature makes radio shows available for 1 week after their original broadcast. So hurry on over an listen to some of the these goodies [via SFFaudio]:
  • At BBC Radio 4's On The Ropes, which features interviews with successful people who have weathered storms in their careers, John Humphrys talks to best-selling author Terry Pratchett, who talks about being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and its effect on his life and work.
  • BBC Radio 7's The 7th Dimension has begun a 17-part unabridged reading of John Wyndham's awesome cozy catastrophe, The Day Of The Triffids. The book was way, WAY better than the film.

• Biology in Science Fiction examines H.P. Lovecraft and the science of resuscitation. Helloooo Reanimator! This was the movie where Fritz Weaver's career went south...if you know what I mean.


• Boing Boing points us to this Star Wars sand sculpture. Cool-looking, yes...but I think it would take an extraordinary amount of control of the Force to get Yoda to sit on Darth Vader's lap.
