 IT’S JUDGEMENT DAY…

No, not because Skynet has finally gone online (give it time), but because Hosts In The Shell Season 3 is almost here.

What started as two cyberpunk obsessives talking about movies, books, games, AI, transhumanism and whatever shiny dystopian nightmare had caught our attention that week has somehow evolved into something rather special.

Over the first two seasons we’ve racked up 54 episodes exploring the very best (and occasionally gloriously worst) that cyberpunk has to offer. We’ve jacked into classics including Blade Runner, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix, Strange Days, Altered Carbon, Casshern and Nemesis, while also venturing down stranger side streets of the genre. 

Along the way we’ve been lucky enough to chat with some fantastic guests, including cyberpunk author T.R. Napper, sci-fi author Gareth L Powell, graphic novelists Gustaffo Vargas, Bryan Talbot, S C Jensen and Dave Cook, and a ‘host’ of creators such as Tim Standish, T R Napper, James L Graetz, Anna Mocikat, C.T Phipps etc helping to shape the future of speculative fiction.

'Jon Richter poses for his close up'

Last year we were delighted to receive our 10,000 downloads badge, proof that there are at least ten thousand occasions when somebody somewhere thought: 

“You know what I need right now? Two middle-aged nerds talking about cyberpunk.”

Yeah - we are as surprised as anyone!?

Now we’re back. (click this image to hear the podcast):

Season 3 promises our biggest and most exciting guest line-up yet, including Hugh Howey (Silo), Bruce Bethke (the man who coined the term cyberpunk), and Adrian Tchaikovsky, one of the most imaginative science-fiction writers working today.

Expect deep dives into cyberpunk culture, future tech, artificial intelligence, science fiction, gaming, movies, literature and all the weird places where humanity and technology collide. There will be insight. There will be enthusiasm. There will almost certainly be tangents.

Whether you’ve been with us since episode one or you’re preparing to jack in for the first time, Season 3 is shaping up to be our biggest yet.

So charge your neural implants, polish your chrome and prepare your audio receptors for maximum stimulation.

Hosts In The Shell Season 3 >>> launching soon.

The future isn’t evenly distributed, but apparently it does now have a podcast.

>>> Imagine a world where the earth is becoming hell? One man with powers and his robot sidekick might be our only hope...
