The Future And You

Is an

Award-winning show

 

---

 

It has received the 

Parsec Award

for

“Best Speculative Fiction News Podcast”

 

 

 

Stephen Euin Cobb, the host of The Future And You, was presented with a Parsec Award in the category "Best Speculative Fiction News Podcast" at the first annual Parsec Award ceremony “for excellence in podcasting” which was held on September 2, 2006 in Atlanta GA, at “the world’s largest popular media convention:” Dragon*Con. 

 

In his acceptance speech, Stephen thanked the podcasters who had encouraged him to start a podcast back when he knew nothing about what a podcast was or how podcasting was done: Mur Lafferty, Tee Morris, and Rich Sigfrit, and he also thanked his photographer/assistant/sister, Peggy Gregory, who has helped him through his many promotional travels to science fiction conventions, book signings and TV appearances.

What the

Media are saying

about

The Future And You

 

Read the full quotes these were sliced from

 

 

 

“Thought provoking and edgy”

Jo Leutton

612 ABC Brisbane

 

 

“…credible guests, covers a wide range of topics.”

GARY ROBBINS

The Orange County Register

 

 

“…broaden and challenge your view of tomorrow... 

It’s currently the podcast I look most forward to getting.”

Death Stacks

Can be played online for free

(nothing to download)

 

 

 

The most popular of the several games your host has invented may now be played online for free.  An artificial intelligence programmer has created a Flash version of Death Stacks and made it publicly available.  You may try your hand at it by going here.   (This programmer also offers an even faster, and more difficult, downloadable open-source version for off-line play.)  Feel free to give it a try.  And remember, the annual Death Stacks Tournament is held every summer in Charlotte NC  Four gleaming trophies, ranging in size from 10 to 27 inches tall, will go to the world’s top players.  One of them might be you.

The Future And You

is teamed with

Jim Baen’s Universe

 

 

 

As host of The Future And You, I am proud to announce that this podcast is officially allied with the largest and, I believe, best online science fiction and fantasy magazine in the world: Jim Baen's Universe. 

 

I would like to emphasize that I have not given them any control or ownership of this podcast, nor have they given me any control or ownership of their magazine.  This alliance, however, will provide The Future And You with a subtle yet very important benefit.  Like winning the Parsec award, it will give this show additional credibility.  It will make this show that much more an "insider" within the science fiction and fantasy industry. 

 

Which, dear listener, will yield a direct benefit to you since it will give me greater access to some of the very people you are most likely to be interested in hearing me interview: writers who are famous for their brilliance.

 

If you are as fascinated by discussions of the future as I am, and I suspect that you are, you are in for many wonderful treats.
