Show Notes
Author Martha Wells joins LIVE at Seattle Worldcon 2025 to discuss "Murderbot" season 1, adapted by Paul and Chris Weitz for Apple TV+. In episode 356, Luke Elliott & James host their first live-recording in front of a packed room of Martha Wells fans, adding to their "Creative Conversations" series. They kick things off with a special video message from the show's cast for Martha Wells: Noma Dumezweni, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tamara Podemski, Tattiawna Jones, David Dastmalchian, and Alexander Skarsgård! Topics include: the original idea that led to Murderbot's creation, surprise insights into herself after reader reactions, her input and thoughts on the casting of the series' biggest role, her visit to the set (and what she got to take home), and why she pushes back at fans surprised by the show's more comedic tone.
