Coffee - Rockets and Battleaxes

Author: RWJ

Rob takes you on a galactic cruise of human creativity and the art of the short story - with a focus on speculative fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. In each episode, we'll take a sip of my "coffee of the day" and delve into a fantastic tale written by a famous, or almost-famous writer. We'll briefly discuss the author along with defining any words or phrases used in the story that may not be in our current lexicon. Credits: Hosted by Robert Woody Jr. Music score "Soundtrack From The Starcourt Mall" by Bryan Teoh www.robwoodyjr.com https://www.instagram.com/rwoody76/
