Space the Nation - Podcast Rankings and reviews

If you enjoyed any of the following movies, series, authors, or books:
* The Expanse
* For All Mankind
* Alien (& Aliens)
* World War Z (or really any Zombie story)
* MOOONFALLLLLLL
* Kindred
* Neuromancer
* Le Guin
* Lovecraft
* Scalzi
* Charlie Jane Anders

Or just about anything that touches on sci-fi & poli sci / international relations, this is the pod for you.

Hosts Ana and Dan do a great job applying their areas of expertise to a wide range of creative works. Even for movies or books I’m really familiar with I learn something new in every episode, and the recurring themes are aces:
- Schlock or Awe (is this well-known or well loved work *actually* good?)
- Canon Fodder (Does this early work hold up or should we mail it to Cancelvania?)
- And a ton of creative themes.

A lot of my watchlist and reading list comes from topics this pod covers, and I think that’s the highest compliment someone can give a podcast.

Great discussions of SciFi and SciFi-adjacent film, TV, and novels. They do the heavy lifting and provide a humorous and thoughtful discussion about these works through the lens of political science.

This show is an incredible delight. I have loved both of the hosts for many, many years. The two of them together is a wonderful melange of rigorous academic discussion and just plain fun. Dan is arch and funny and smart, and Ana is brilliant and penetrating and passionate. The subject matter is fun, and ranges from classic science fiction to movies of the day, from international relations to necessary critiques of capitalism. I love this show, and you will too.

Been listening since the early days on a I-go channel when it was just an Expanse review show. The hosts are great, and genuinely seem to enjoy each other and the conversations. Lots of fun! Definitely suggest becoming a patron to get access to the discord server. Great people on there.
