Last summer, something monumental happened. One of Uncuffed's founding producers, Greg Eskridge, came home after more than 30 years in prison. In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last. Our work in prisons is supported by the California Arts Council, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, independent foundations, and donations from listeners like you.

MILSFPOD S2E02 Writing Great Villains 1:02:58

Military Science Fiction presents some unique opportunities to explore villains. The same rules of great villains apply, but in MILSF you get to play with rank, weapon systems, politics, aliens, a whole gamut of special jerks that the civilian world doesn't get to experience. Motivations can be personal, cultural, or purely professional, but on the whole nobody is satisfied by an incompetent jerk as a villain. Come hang out with us as we discuss some of our favorite villains, the difference between an obstacle and a villain, and how to make sure the reader understands that the author and their villains don't share the same values, morals, or political leanings.

MILSFPOD S01E24 Edge of Tomorrow Review 54:29

The 2014 film Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton, has all the fixin's of an excellent milsf story, with the added twist of time travel (or is it multiverse?), showcasing a soldier who experiences a riveting journey from coward to hardened veteran. Do we have to say we like this movie? It's great, and if you haven't seen it, stop reading this and seek it out. Sure, we have some criticisms, but we critique out of love, and there's still plenty to learn from this story. _______________ The Military Science Fiction Podcast, with Rick Partlow, Josh Hayes, Jeffery H.
