This pod episode was posted in 2017. Sf from the right on RedIce.
This is about my book about sf from 2016. It is about taking a fresh angle at science fiction... by seeing it from a radical-conservative standpoint.
And, in 2017, a pod interview was done. In this discussion Henrik Palmgren of Red Ice interviewed me, Lennart Svensson, author of "Science Fiction Seen from the Right". We talked about books like Starship Troopers, Dune, The Lord of the Rings and 1984, all of it with an inclination towards conservatism and traditionalism.
So the classics were covered. The books you know. LotR and the rest. But we also dug into a dark horse like C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength from 1945. This kind of topped it off, giving you that extra mile, extra worth, extra effort.

Ever since I was a young boy I’ve loved Tolkien, Heinlein, Dune... and in the show at hand I could tell you more about my fantastic findings.
The program's own presentation of the show:
“Lennart Svensson ... joins us to discuss right-wing themes in science fiction. We first consider the fact that contemporary science fiction often comes from a left-wing perspective. Lennart explains that his work, therefore, seeks to remedy this situation. We then explore right-wing themes in a few popular works of science fiction and fantasy, including Starship Troopers, Dune, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hideous Strength. The first hour also touches on relationship between technology and science, with Lennart advocating a spiritualized view of technology as a means to resist lapsing into materialistic nihilism.”
Here is the show.
