This is Fictional Problems, the podcast where hosts Gary J. Martin and A.R. McNevin discuss writing, politics, and freedom of speech. In this episode, they debate political alignments, cancel culture, and the moral limits of political expression in the wake of recent violent events.
They also examine how contemporary narratives—false-flag tactics, crafted outrage, historical parallels, and genre examples like Star Trek—influence speculative fiction, character creation, and the choices writers make when reflecting politics in their work.
