Welcome to the new normal\u00a0of the pared down interview where, because of the current \u201cworld wide crisis\u201d, bandwidth is limited 24\/7 which makes using the internet a problem for us to work in. That being said, we will continue on as best we can with whatever limited resources are available.<\/p>\n<p>Our first attempt at normalcy begins with an interview with author <a href=\"https:\/\/kristinarienzi.com\" target=\"_blank\">Kristina Rienzi<\/a>. If she isn\u2019t in your science fiction reading lexicon, she should be and here&#8217;s why. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KristinaRienziAuthor\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kristina<\/a> has written a really wonderful first Science Fiction novel; <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07DD4CHB6\/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i6\" target=\"_blank\">Among Us<\/a><\/em>. What makes this really interesting is that it is her first foray in SF having written numerous short stories and novels in the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/kristinarienzi.com\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adult Paranormal<\/a>\u201d and the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kristina-Rienzi\/e\/B00Q5FPECS%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share\" target=\"_blank\">Domestic Thriller<\/a> \u201cgenre. Her writing skills shine in her first attempt in SF and Among Us is a standout. The depth of characterization and precision of setting and tech is kinda mind-blowing BUT not as mind-blowing as the interview Capt. Cam and I had with her. Her skills and passion for her writing came through in what was a wonderfully relaxed and engaging interview. Normally, at this point, I would give a rundown of some of the topics we covered, but I can\u2019t. Let me just say the conversation went almost everywhere between Snookie and Majestic 12.<\/p>\n<p>Think that\u2019s weird? It was. Enjoy it. We did.<\/p>\n<span id=\"pod_audio_1\">&nbsp;<\/span><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-9599-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast437.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast437.mp3\">http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast437.mp3<\/a><\/audio><p><a href='http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast437.mp3'>Download<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/castplayer?castfile=http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast437.mp3&id=9599\" rel=\"0\" class=\"newPlayerWindow\" >Open Player in New Window<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9601\" style=\"width: 479px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Among-Us-Kristina-Rienzi\/dp\/0996972161\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=\" target=\"_blank\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9601\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9601\" src=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/51D1qxe50UL.jpg\" alt=\"Among Us\" width=\"469\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/51D1qxe50UL.jpg 333w, http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/51D1qxe50UL-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Among Us<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=9599\" data-text=\"TalkCast 437 \u2013 Once Upon an Extraterrestrial Nightmare\"  >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=9599\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscifisaturdaynight.com%2F%3Fp%3D9599&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fscifisaturdaynight.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F04%2F51D1qxe50UL.jpg&#038;description=TalkCast%20437%20%E2%80%93%20Once%20Upon%20an%20Extraterrestrial%20Nightmare\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey and hi, everyone.
