         <title>Silent Universe &quot;In The Margins&quot; Companion #1</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey folks, just an FYI I went ahead and posted the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.silentuniverse.com/season1/InTheMargins_001.mp3">first episode</a> of the new, expanded, companion show to Silent Universe. It's called "In The Margins" and is basically an (approximately) 10 minute update, where I go through listener feedback, talk about other podcasts, give updates on how the next episode is coming along, and basically talk entirely too much. ;)</p>

         <title>SciFi Makes Racism &quot;OK&quot;</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.silentuniverse.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.silentuniverse.com/jmarcusxavier.gif" alt="J. Marcus Xavier trying to look all cool and stuff" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="3" /></a><a target="_blank" href="http://memetherapy.net/"><strong>Memetherapy</strong></a> recently posted <a target="_blank" href="http://memetherapy.net/26/science-fictions-ethical-dillemas-part-one/">another bit</a> of an interview I did with them, about <strong>Science Fiction’s Ethical Dilemmas</strong>. In it, I bring up the ugly specter of <em>Racism</em> in a . . . shall we say <em>creative</em> context. Here's a bit:</p>

<p>"<em>The point is that people are very averse to discussing issues revolving around race, because it almost always turns into a 'blame game' or a powder keg. Science Fiction allows writers to bypass a lot of the automatic dismissals that are wired into people’s minds, by turning into aliens from another planet. Nobody is going to call the NAACP if you complain about those 'damn green-blooded Vulcans' or generalize that all Wookies are a bunch of angry 'walking carpets.' Nobody cares. But the fact that we don’t question why Wookies and Vulcans are not offended should speak to our own political ultra-sensitivity on the topic.</em>"</p>
