NEW EPISODE: Some incredible, amazing reads are one & done books. For a variety of reasons, you're glad you read them, but... never again. Zach & Jim today share 5 such categories (with examples) that fit that distinction. Come see what you think! #SFFH https://youtu.be/kOiOtSvfbsw

NEW EPISODE: Jim & Zach dig through the results of many of our channel's daily polls, with Zach trying to guess how our viewers voted, & then both of us sharing our own takes. And something destroying each other's perspectives. But nicely! #Fantasy #SFFH https://youtu.be/_sgJMNBeKfY

I'm late with this due to earthing issues and a ground loop buggering the first taping. Sorry about that, but I'll tape again tonight and upload tomorrow. I'll be talking about #BoneTomahawk, #WakeUptheDeadAKnivesOutMystery, #MissionImpossibleFinalReckoning, #PoorThings, #TronAres, #TheAmazingMrBlunden, #LateNightwiththeDevil, #TheOdyssey, #Barbarians, #StrangerThings, #TheNightManager, etc. Don't miss out and subscribe to #CRRRRS #SFFH #Podcast at https://roymathur.com/podcast.html

#HappyNewYear from #CRRRRS #SFFH #Podcast studio. We enjoyed seeing the New Year in at Lakaz Royenstein and I'm currently relaxing as my lab assistant, Fygor, screens #LateNightwiththeDevil for me.

NEW EPISODE: Today, a special year-end video, as we each share our Top 25 genre books, shows, & movies experienced in 2025. Get it? Top 25 of '25! But yes, since Zach & Jim both do it, it's really 50 picks. BONUS! Come see what you agree with. #SFFH #SFF https://youtu.be/zuYeKAC-t8M

NEW EPISODE: Audiobooks don't get the respect they deserve from some. For such readers this may be a tough episode, as Jim makes the case for when audio is ACTUALLY the BETTER format for experiencing a novel. Will he convince you? #Audiobooks #SFFH https://youtu.be/wChuROzL4so

NEW EPISODE: Sometimes, Jim just can't go with the crowd (including, his son Zach). Today, Jim shares his Top 10 Unpopular SFFH Opinions, ranked by the degree of rancor they tend to generate (not on how loud he chooses to be!). #SFF #Fantasy #SFFH #SciFi https://youtu.be/oyapqOE8i_w

NEW EPISODE: Had a fun livestream with five guests, talking all sorts of topics related to speculative fiction. Come see what hot takes may have been taken! #SFFH https://youtube.com/live/EkXpjKvab9E

ICYMI: there was a lovely review of Rebecca Campbell's THE OTHER SHORE in Brief Ecology, a newsletter focusing on environmental news - not just what's happening but also what we can do. It's definitely worth checking out.

Here's a link to Brief Ecology #22, where you can find more about THE OTHER SHORE: https://www.briefecology.com/p/no-desert-data-centers-climate-impacts

Thanks for all the #CRRRRS #Podcast boosts and favs, and merry nearly #Christmas to all. (Well, those of you I do not actively dislike). As I said recently, expect #DoctorWho: #RemembranceoftheDaleks and lots of #SFFH #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, and #Horror blah from me; with many recommendations on what to watch, play, do, who to cast hexes on, etc., and the usual gamut of grumbling from an increasingly #wizardy looking chap. Thank the gods I do not in reality have the ability to cast fireballs.

As we approach the cataclysmic 100th post, the shadows are shifting, and not for the better.

Be warned: Delve was never a fantasy bathed in light. It has always been a descent into darkness.
