Julio	Dear StarShipSofa Forum, Now that the Sofa has over 200 shows, I find myself looking for a list of stories, fact articles that have been run over the course of it’s history. Escapepod has one such in wikipedia… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Escape_Pod_episodes I think this would be something very useful. You could look for how many stories have come out from an author. You could go find when the latest A Look Back at Genre History or the fiction crawler was and listen to it directly. Well, I decided to start it. I’ve managed so far to do 10%. I’ll keep on adding to the list every week or so, until it’s complete. I would love to crowdsource the effort. So here is the link for your perusal or if you would like to help complete it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqxwmf6-kgl3dEF4dFVmT0NaRTBDYzllbjNLeHc4bkE&hl=en_GB If you would like to make changes to the layout, or the spreadsheet itself, or use the data feel free! Thank you, Julio

Julio	Note: You might have to get a google account to access it, but it is publicly shared.

Tony C. Smith	That’s a great idea there Julio – many thanks for digging up just what the hell we’ve played on the show!

ahs	This is only small help, but I keep a running list (with topics and links) of all of my “History of the Genre” segments (going all the way back to show 14) here on my website. (It’s about halfway down the page). My Website: http://amyhsturgis.com My Blog: http://eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com My Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/785795.Amy_H_Sturgis

Gonzalo	I was sure I’d seen something like this before. Check out this thread started by LZ http://plus.tl/gonzalo

Julio	Hey Thank you Gonzalo. I was not aware of LZ’s list. I struggled with how to organize the columns, and one option was how he did it. I would be happy to copy what I did to his list (it looks like he stopped around SSS 180).

Julio	Thank you Tony for the encouragement. Hi Amy, I will definitely add the topics of your fact articles (I’ve already started it). With LZ’s list I’ve made a lot of progress. He used last name comma first name. I’ll try to reconcile that in a future update…

Julio	I’m done with Amy’s fact articles. In fact, hers is the first ever fact article on the aural delights on show 25. She has done 39 fact articles since then.

ahs	Julio said: I’m done with Amy’s fact articles. In fact, hers is the first ever fact article on the aural delights on show 25. She has done 39 fact articles since then. Wow! Thank you so much. That boggles my mind a bit, to be honest. In a good way!

Julio	So I’m progressing with adding and rechecking all the data. In theory all of the main fiction and fact articles have been added, but there may have been an omission or two. If you want to play around with the table, but are afraid to mess it up on google, you can just download it to your computer as an excel file for example. Then sort by any field you may be interested in. So for example if you sort by fact article this is what we get: There have been 247 fact articles. #1 Looking back at genre history with 39 articles #2 Science news with 38 articles #3 Film Talk with 26 articles I think this just speaks to Tony’s imense charisma, who is able to get such astounding colaborations and quality articles from so many different people. Lus66 on the other thread asked for length columns. I’ll try to get over to that when all the episodes have been checked. Although if anyone wants to help, it would be great. Basically, if we have start points for all features, length can pretty much be derived from that, although we would also need to go back and get the total episode length to know the length of the last feature in each episode.
