Synopsis: A new monthly podcast by The Straits Times, where we talk about titles in the headlines and sizzling reads.

Broken Stars is an anthology of cutting-edge Chinese science fiction by the likes of Liu Cixin, Xia Jia, Hao Jingfang and more, edited by Ken Liu.  

Produced by: Olivia Ho and Toh Wen Li

Edited by: Adam Azlee
