On this episode I talk with Troubadour Magazine's new Assistant Editor, Joe Dimon, about the three short stories we selected for his upcoming course on Science Fiction Literature.

The three stories are

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter"

Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron,"

David Griggs's "A Song Before Sunset."

In this episode we discuss each short story and compare them. Whether or not you have read them,we give you an overview and explain there signifance.
