On this episode, writer and podcaster J David Osborne returns to talk about several short stories by the late science fiction grandmaster, Ursula K Le Guin.

We talk about cultural relativism, anthropology, how Ursula's father's work with a lost Indian influenced her, influences in general, whether we would have sex with our clones, writers folding stuff they read into their work instead of not reading, the many different answers to Omelas, girlboss adventures done right, and much more.

Stories discussed:

Semley's Necklace
Nine Lives
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
Sur
