Latest podcast episode is up in which we repeatedly fail to wrap our tongues around the various place, people and concept names in one of the most ground breaking Sci Fi novels ever written. Sorry Ursula.
You can get it at source here, on the Fediverse via PeerTube here or any one of the seemingly infinite number of places that syndicate podcasts here.

I mildly disagree, as in: the gender roles were a hot topic of discussion in the Woodstock/‘68 era, and this book is likely influenced by the surrounding climate. At the same time, it hasn’t aged as poorly as other books written on the same topic, so it feels still very contemporary and can be read through the lenses of the more recent transgender debate.
Welp, TIL! Was before my time so I accept not knowing enough about that, thanks for adding the comment.
