This @torbooks novel truly tore… on this week’s DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE we’re talking @buehlmeister ‘s wildly enjoyable and richly envisioned THE BLACKTONGUE THIEF.
Kinch Na Shannack has luck on his side (sometimes) as he works to pay off his debt to the Taker’s Guild by joining up with a mysterious and badass warrior on a quest to investigate the threat of invading giants in a land wartorn by goblins. There’s a lot of world building, a fantastically original voice, and a driving plot — what’s not to like?
But first, your hosts provide dispatches from the realms of entertainment as Jacob recounts his latest forays into scifi and fantasy TV (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy), William visits the 28-o-verse in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and both hosts have a religious experience with The Testament of Ann Lee.

Our book selections on DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE podcast have RANGE. From gay Santa smut and Booktok fluff all the way to high brow literary speculative science fiction.
Tune in to our latest two-part series where we discuss the gorgeous and challenging WHAT WE CAN KNOW by Ian McEwan (wherever you get your podcasts).
#whatwecanknow #ianmcewan #speculativefiction #bookpodcast #bookstagram
It’s time for the epic conclusion of THE MERCY OF THE GODS by James S.A. Corey, as Dafyd and the other hostage humans of Anjiin make their play for the survival of the human race.
We LOVED this book (4.5 Stars!) and found a lot to discuss and giggle about along the way.
But first...we can’t get enough of Rosalia’s LUX, wish for a better IT: Welcome to Derry, Jacob begins a journey through The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, and William shares an update on Erin Soltice and friends from The Wandering Inn by pirateaba.
Upcoming episodes:
11/27: No episode, Happy Thanksgiving
12/4: Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas

We’re stretching the umbrella of what categorizes as “sci fi fantasy” with this one — but mostly because we were craving a good old fashioned Robert Langdon adventure.
We’re decoding symbols, uncovering conspiracies, and tracking morning swim habits in @authordanbrown ‘s latest book THE SECRET OF SECRETS (Chapters 1-70).
It’s set in Prague. There’s a murderous Golêm. A really creepy Devil’s Bible. What more could you want?
We’re having a ton of fun reading — listen along to join in!
Listen along and tune in next week for the second half where we will finally find out… the secret of secrets.
#danbrown #thesecretofsecrets #robertlangdon
We are so back! And we’re going back to book club style, multi-episode book coverage with manageable page counts so you can read along too!
This week’s DADDIES DRAGONS DEEP SPACE goes deep on chapters 1-10 of @kuangrf ‘s most recent release and bestseller KATABASIS. It’s a dark academia fantasy novel about two analytic magick post-graduates journeying into hell to save their beloved (?) professor. It’s not at all what we expected. But we’re absolutely riveted and cannot wait for more.
Before we get into it, Jacob shares his experience at a Dan Brown book event to celebrate his new release (which will be our next book!)
UPCOMING EPISODES:
9/18: Katabasis Chapters 11-20
9/25: Katabasis Chapters 21-End
Then: Dan Brown, The Secret of Secrets

This might just be our favorite book of the year.
Our most recent episode of DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE discusses the Hugo award winning novel THE TAINTED CUP by the absolute legend that is @r.jackson.bennett !
It’s a hard-boiled detective novel set in an alien fantasy world with incredibly lush and vivid world-building, an unforgettable cast of characters, and twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat for the entirety of this propulsive, engrossing, and wildly unique ride.
We kept this one largely spoiler free because we didn’t want to ruin it for anyone — and we recommend it to everyone.
(Scheduling note — we’ll be back Thursday 9/11 with their first episode covering roughly half of Katabasis by R.F. Kuang.)

This week on DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE podcast, chests are bursting with extra terrestrials, eyes are bulging out of kitties, consciousnesses are transferring into hybrids, starships are crashing into buildings, and plots are getting riddled with holes as your hosts dive into the new FX on Hulu show ALIEN: EARTH.
While they’re not sure how they feel about it — and aren’t getting that unique ALIEN feeling from it — they find plenty to chit and chat about.
But before we get into it, a fly appears, a fly is killed, and another fly emerges. Jacob shares an important, and potentially live-saving public service announcement, which William one ups by sharing that he viewed a movie trailer.
Programming update! Infinite Silver is canonically unreadable so we’re switching it up.
NEXT WEEK’S EPISODE: The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett.

Jacob and William are bringing you their shortest episode ever, in honor of their shortest book yet: #Binti by @nnediokorafor , a slim science-fiction novella that carries big themes in its tiny little package.
But first, William confesses a very William-coded mistake he made from his fantasy coma sickbed, and outlines his pitch to Make Jurassic Park Great Again. Then, Jacob gives a spoiler-free update on his journey through The Name of All Things, book two of Jenn Lyons’ A Chorus of Dragons, and tours his dad’s library.
UPCOMING EPISODES IN AUGUST:
• Next week: Classics Corner-The Last
Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
• Millennial Nostalgia-Weetzie Bat by
Francesca Lia Block
• Alien Earth
• Silver Elite by Dani Francis
You could say this is a ~foundational~ episode for us as we launch a new series: the CLASSICS CORNER, where we’ll shed a spotlight on some of the most seminal, old school, golden oldie sci fi & fantasy texts. We’re going to try to do one recent release and one classic book every month (listeners, please drop some recs in the comments!).
So for our first Classics Corner (working title), we’re going all the way back to the 1950s to one of the grand masters of science fiction, the Isaac Asimov (no insta tag bc he’s dead) and his hugely impactful FOUNDATION series (now an Apple TV+ series starring 6’5 Lee Pace).
This book is scarily prescient, timely, and *Dorinda Medley voice* important.
Also, Jacob shares a harrowing tale about an 8th grade teacher that had students play “butt charades”. You heard that right.
You can find the latest DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE episode wherever you get your podcasts (link in bio!) 🐉👨🏻🪐

Your hosts are ready to sink their teeth into Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab with their full-spoiler, no tombstone left unturned review. Before they get there, William discusses his favorite movie of the year (if not all time), KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix, and Jacob shares spoiler-free thoughts on 28 Years Later. Then they’re back in renaissance Europe, Victorian England, and (inexplicably and unforgivably) modern day Scotland to suck BOBITMS dry and leave no blood crumbs.
NEXT WEEK: Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Baker extraordinaire @gcharleton of @redgatebakery invents a Redgate x DDDS bun that’s out of this world and simply divalicious. The secret ingredient? The fifth element!
#thefifthelement #redgatebakery #gaypodcast #baking #sci #buns #divaplavalaguna
We’re in for a sweet treat this week as the hunky and incomparable @gcharleton of @redgatebakery fame joins the DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE podcast to discuss buns, witches, and his all time favorite sci-fi flick, Luc Besson’s iconic THE FIFTH ELEMENT (spoiler alert: the fifth element is *ASMR voice* LOOOOVE).
