We discuss chapters 1-6 of The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov. This pioneering Sci-Fi Murder Mystery was Asimov's response to the idea that Sci-Fi and Mystery were contradictory fields, but does his response prove him wrong or right? We follow the dysfunctional pairing of Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw as they attempt to solve a murder they haven't even seen. We also chat with Australian crime writer Sulari Gentill, author of the Rowland Sinclair mystery series about her work and Sydney's BAD Crime Writer's Festival.
