"Hi, I'm LeVar Burton, and this is LeVar Burton Reed. In every episode, I handpick a different piece of short fiction and I read it to you. The only thing these stories have in common is that I love them and I hope you will too. If you read or watch sci-fi, you're probably familiar with the concept of the generation ship. It's the idea that if you wanted to send humans to a distant star and you didn't have a spacecraft that could travel fast enough to get them there in their lifetime, you could plan for that crew to live on board for multiple generations before the spacecraft finally reaches its destination. It's kind of like a Noah's ark traveling between stars. You need to set up the crew with a closed system that can sustain them with food, water, air, for many years. Now we're far from making the generation ship a reality, but we are experimenting quite a bit with these closed systems and what exactly we need to live and thrive. How we can replicate this in places other than earth. A couple of years ago, I moderated a conversation about the documentary spaceship earth, which was about the biosphere two project. Biosphere two was originally intended to show how a closed ecological system bubble, if you will, with his own water and air, dirt, crops, and animals, how that could support human life. However, if you plop that bubble down in outer space, you could survive. The protagonist of today's story is living in a closed system on a generation ship, moving slowly through space. He doesn't have firsthand knowledge of earth. He's literally never stepped foot on it. It's called the destination ship, and it's by the tennessean Gregory marlowe, Gregory is an animator writer and an assistant professor in east Tennessee state university's digital media program. Greg's story really deeply resonated with me and I'm excited to share it with you. Please check out the written content advisory and the episode description if that is your thing and if you're ready, let's take a deep breath.

"Simple and uncomplicated, but there are rivers that run deep in this story. For me, I mean, there are a lot of connections that I have. We lived in Germany for a time when I was really young, third, fourth grade, and the beer truck would come around. There would be milk delivery, but there was also a beer man. He would yell beer man. Beer man. Everybody would run. You know, to get to get their daily beer. It was crazy. I also, in the 5th grade, it's wild. I fell in love with a girl named Roxanne. And she didn't know how existed. So there's a lot that I can relate to on the surface, but. The Los, the sins of loss. You all know I lost my mom a couple of years ago and we have all suffered a lot of losses over these past few years, and there's just, wow, the simplicity with which he expresses the emotions of both the kid and the father, it's just brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. The idea of the dignity that working people find in the jobs that they take to feed their families to take care of their obligations, there is true power. In that, it's love, really. In action, doing whatever it is you need to do in order to get the job done to put food on the table. To keep your kids in school, that was my childhood. Being raised by a single mom, a working, single mother. It wasn't easy for her. I know now. I know how much she struggled and I know, I think I have a sense of just. How scared she must have been at times. Of course, like most parents, she never would never show that to us. I think when we're kids, we see the things that are going on around us and oftentimes it's not until we're much older that we're able to really interpret correctly, it's not until we get the distance of adulthood that we can look back and actually relate to the experiences that our parents had and we see either we see ourselves in them or we see the difference in our lives than the lives that they had, but whatever the reason, I think we come to an understanding of our parents about the nature of parenthood and how much it's about sacrifice. The idea that in this country, every generation has been able to do better than the generation before until now. It bothers me, it's worrisome. To me, because what it says is there's something fundamentally changed. About this country. And how we go about our business in this nation. There are warning signs everywhere. We look these days that scream out in bright, bold letters. Trouble. And at the end of the day, it is those things that we learn as children. Those values. Of lending a hand to a neighbor because they need it. Taking an IOU from a woman because you know she needs the bread, but can't afford the bill, those are the values that I think of I genuinely pray. It's those values that we return to. Because I think those values that sense of we're all in this together, that's going to be our saving grace.

"This podcast is sponsored by better help online therapy. Now you've heard me talk about better help before. So let's discuss some of the stigmas around mental health. Therapy doesn't mean something's wrong with you. It means you recognize that all humans have emotions and we need to learn to control them. Not avoid them. Maybe you've been taught that mental health shouldn't be a part of normal life. But I think that's wrong too. We take care of our bodies with a gym. The doctor and nutrition, we should be focusing on our minds, just as much. I think therapy is something that can really be beneficial on an ongoing basis. There's no reason to wait until things are dire, and your mental health is in jeopardy. Before you go to therapy, I see it as the same kind of maintenance I do for my body and soul. Better help is customized online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat with your therapist. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in person therapy and you can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours. Give it a try and see why over 2 million people have used better help online therapy. And LeVar Burton reads listeners get 10% off of their first month at better help dot com slash levar that's better HELP dot com slash LE VAR.

"Hi, I'm LeVar Burton, and this is LeVar Burton reads. In every episode, I hand pick a different piece of short fiction, and I read it to you. The only thing these stories have in common is that I love them, and I hope you will too. You know, I think it's pretty natural for us as humans. Especially when things are difficult to picture the what ifs of, say, a parallel timeline. You know, what if I had taken that job? What if I had broken up with that person sooner? What if my parents had never met? Would things be better? Would I have been happier? Well, in today's story, we get to witness people working through the realities of parallel world. The logistics of existing on the same planet as a different version of yourself. Possibilities. Or perhaps the lack thereof. This story is by the author, Timothy mudi, who resides in greater Boston. He is a book editor and is also the author of short fiction that's been published widely, including in beneath ceaseless skies, mythic, trans lunar travelers lounge, and in light speed magazine, and indeed. It was in light speed that today's story was first published. There is a written content advisory in the episode description, if that's something you want to check out.

"Hi, I'm LeVar Burton, and this is lavar Burton Reed. In every episode I handpick a different piece of short fiction and read it to you. The only thing these stories have in common is that I love them and I hope you will too. I'm back. In case you couldn't tell. And I am gearing up for season ten. That's over 100 stories in the proverbial books y'all. So if you know someone who isn't listening to the podcast, I mean, there are a lot of entry points there. NK jemison, anyone, Neil Gaiman, for sure, Ken Lou, if you don't know, you better ask somebody. Recommend an author or an episode to someone who you know will enjoy the podcast. Anyway, I am so very happy to be back and reading a story today by the master of horror and speculative fiction to Nona reve do. Who you may recall wrote free Jim's mind, which I read a few years ago. Tona reeve is an award winning author who teaches black horror and afrofuturism at UCLA. She was also an executive producer on shutters groundbreaking documentary, horror noir, a history of black horror. She has a new novel out in 2022 called the reformatory, a ghost story set at a haunted children's prison, and she's releasing a graphic novel called the keeper based on a screenplay she wrote with Stephen Barnes about a young girl who's dying grandmother, summons a Supernatural caretaker for her. I think that this story, like the last one I read by tanana Reeva is shot through with atmosphere and delves deeply into the dynamics and obligations in a family. The wishing pool was first published in print and in audio by uncanny magazine. And we find a woman named joy, who's been charged with visiting her ailing father in Florida. As someone who's cared for older relatives and tried to find ways to ease any pain and cherish the time I have with them, I felt a lot for joy in this story. Her dad is living in the old family cabin, which holds a lot of memories for joy. Maybe too many memories. And it makes joy think about a place in the Woods. A mystical place that she visited as a child. If you are so inclined, you will find a content advisory in the written episode description. Damn. If you're ready to go to the wishing pool, let's take a deep breath..

"And I thought, why not take this opportunity to answer some questions that you all have about the podcast. So I threw a line out to the LeVar Burton reads, Facebook, discussion group to see what you all wanted to know. And I'll answer some of those questions in a minute, but first, I want to tell you a little bit about what to expect this season. I'll be returning to some of the work of my favorite authors, like Tana reeve do. I'm going to read a great holiday mystery for you. I'll read the winning entry of the LeVar Burton reads writing contest, maybe it's yours, I hope so. And I'm going to bring you a story by one of the all time greats. And that's gonna have to be under wraps for now. It's gonna be fantastic and it will be here before you know it. So be sure you're subscribed to this feed, so you don't miss an episode. And now, with the help of Julia Marie Smith, the best in the business, y'all. We're gonna take some of your questions and hopefully we'll have some answers. Jules? Thank you, lavar, Eva asks, my favorite aspect of the program is the diversity of the authors you read. I'd love to hear about how you approach author diversity and why it matters. Great question. Eva, author diversity and the diversity of points of view from which the stories emanate is really critically important to me. It's one of the reasons why I do this podcast. And enjoy doing it so much. Like when I was doing reading rainbow, my desire is to continue to expose you to new literature to new authors, new voices that you might not ordinarily have come across and it gives me great pleasure when I hear from you feedback that indicates that you really do. Enjoy discovering on the podcast new authors and new voices that you have really embraced and have sought out other stories and material by these writers that makes me very happy. Okay, I have one here from at Davey dubs does on Twitter. They ask, what are the hardest stories to read? Either because of the subject matter or because of funny syntax. What are the hardest stories to read I guess from me the hardest stories are stories that have a lot of characters because most of the voices just come in the moment. It's not like I've spent a lot of time plotting them out. So remembering, you know, in the middle or at the end of a story, you know, how a character sounds that was introduced pages and pages ago can sometimes be a challenge. But when I nail it, it's it feels me with a great satisfaction. Sometimes we play it back so that we'll roll back the tape essentially to make sure that we're matching the one that you got right. Yeah. The one that you really wanted. But put it put it back in my ear so I can so I can match it, yeah. Here's a question about something we actually just tackled. This is from shante. They ask, how does levar approach using accents or pronouncing words particularly those in foreign languages? That is a great question, shante. Julia Marie Smith, the best in the business, is great at sourcing pronunciation guides for me for foreign words. Oftentimes, the authors of the stories are a great source of pronunciations, especially for languages, Chinese comes most immediately to mind for a couple of stories that we've done. In some cases, Jules will basically consult a native speaker and give them the phrases that we're looking at and ask them to record it. So I have a guide track coming into the studio of what the proper pronunciation and accent requires. At bgf central asks, what was your motivation in starting LeVar Burton reads and what turned out to be your unexpected favorite part of the project? I suppose it was just really a desire to be creative in a way that didn't depend on someone else's permission. As I observed the burgeoning podcast industry, I thought, wow, what a low barrier to entry. It is. You really just need a good recording setup. And a good idea. And you can pretty much make a podcast as has been evidenced by the millions of podcasts that exist these days. For me, it was it was the ability to create without asking anyone's permission. It felt like a something that I really was longing aching to do. Here we are ten, 12 episode seasons later. And I love every time I sit down at the mic. Every time I come to the studio, I am excited. I'm nervous. And I love reading these stories for you. Lavar, I'm going to contradict you on one thing. What? What did I say? I'm going to contradict you because you said you don't need anyone's permission. But actually, there have been several questions along these lines of how do you get the stories that you get? Yeah, well. Do you want to, shall we answer that question? How we get the stories is a question I will let you answer. Because that task falls. Squarely on your shoulders. Okay. Well, after the point at which we have selected the story and you've said, yes, this is the one I want to read. Then we go and we seek permission from usually the author, but whoever controls the non dramatic audio rights for that story. So that sometimes is the publisher, sometimes it is the estate of an author who's deceased. So basically we get a license to read that story. We pay a permissions fee and it's, I mean, we do technically have to ask. I just wanted to put it out there. It is true. We do have to ask for permission. Technically. Technically, no, no, no, a very good and valid point. The value proposition as I understand it as I feel, it is, we pay the artist for a limited use. And for that, I get to read their story aloud on the podcast. I believe that all artists should be compensated for their work for their intellectual property when being used by other artists in other mediums. It just, it's the way it should be. Okay, here's one more. This is at I'm underscore spartacus. They ask, I'm a parent who reads out loud every night. What do you think goes into making a really good reading performance? Oh, what a great question, spartacus. What do we question? I think that most important thing is your sense of enthusiasm in telling the story and sharing the story with your child or children. And don't be afraid to try voices. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Because the child doesn't care if you're accent as perfect or if.

Who Will Replace Alex Trebek as Host?
"On. What's going on with jeopardy? What are they going to do? They got enough. Alex Trebek could go through Christmas. I said two weeks ago, I said Ken Jennings is going to be the new House of Jeopardy. And now they've named him his interim post. He starts taping shows the next week and then the show start airing January 11th. On def He's for the month of January. He'll be on and if he's good, he'll be the permanent host. So that's the intention was always to have him as the permanent, huh? And why would he not be good? I mean, you know, he's not the greatest performer in the world. But either was Alex. You're backing. You know, just a serious, very knowledgeable guy. That's all you have to be on that show. I can't tell you last night. If you're you know if you're watching jeopardy during this odd period, where Alex project is actually deceased, but performing last night on the show he tapped in Okay, but that's no. I'm not kidding. Here's a man who's like six weeks away. No, but he's like, six weeks away from dying, and he's tapped this thing on the show last night and I had is off to him. I never realized what a great guy he was. He's a great guy, and actually You know, he was a lot of fun. He was very smart. He knew jeopardy, and he knew the question that he knew the answers that makes you really knew the stuff that was going on. Ken Jennings has got to be more than just smart at separate E. He's gotta prove to be gregarious. He's a great guy, Ken Jennings and everything you just said he knows this questions. He knows the answers. No one knows the game better than him. It has to be engaging. He has to be sexy. You know what I mean? He has to have some, You know, he asked you out of the tap down, so you know, let's see if you can do it. But I was so impressed last night. Alex Trebek, captain of the show. I'm like Jesus, you're about to die and you're tap dancing. What a great thing. But so if it's that Ken Jennings what's the backup plan? Who else would they? Were they thinking of? There's some talk. I feel like there's some talk going on that LeVar Burton could be a host like something out there. I just feel it, You know, he's he's smart, funny. He's a performer. He's played deputy really well in the past. And he's definitely going to be one of the interim host. And I just hope you that he can't wear that thing that you were on Star Trek around the eyes and then you can't see anything but I think would be great to have contact Qiantang as the host of jeopardy. That would be a funny end to the story. Yeah. Now you know how this business works. I'm sure every low life you know, TV host has been calling begging for the job even before he died. And, you know they're vultures. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure wink. Martin Bell doesn't win part and don't wanna do it Is he still around? Might be 100, but he'd be perfect. All right. What did you do? You do a very good. You know, Mark, you would be a very good husband. Effort it. I gotta be honest. I can't even watch the show. I don't know. One answer to anything. I I I can't watch it.
