They also do Escape Pod and Podcastle, both are often good, sometimes great, and sometimes eh, like any fantasy/SF magazine. I think they have been around for at least 3-4 years. posted by blahblahblah at 11:35 AM on October 16, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
I found this via Wil Wheaton's Twitter account yesterday. I downloaded the most recent story, but haven't listened yet because I'm behind on Jordan Jesse Go. Still, it looks pretty promising. posted by Caduceus at 11:53 AM on October 16, 2008
I want them read by a Vincent Price clone. posted by Senator at 11:56 AM on October 16, 2008
I'm a big Escape Pod fan. Psuedopod doesn't hit as often for me. I'm dimly aware of Podcastle (and it has the BEST NAME EVER for a fantasy podcast) but haven't listened. posted by These Premises Are Alarmed at 12:00 PM on October 16, 2008
Yeah, Escape Pod is pretty good. Although I downloaded a huge backlog of the stories and OD'd on the guy's distinctive voice so now I find it hard to listen. Still, many are read by others, so I'm not locked out. posted by DU at 12:01 PM on October 16, 2008
They did one of my stories a couple of years ago, read by J.C. Hutchins. It was an interesting experience -- I've done lots of live readings of my own stories, but hearing someone else read it was entirely different. I've got to say, Hutchins really nailed one of the main characters -- I can't even re-read my own story without hearing those lines in his voice. posted by webmutant at 1:57 PM on October 16, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
Thanks! I live for spoken word when I drive, bike, or walk a long long way. Now if I can only keep the cap on the bottle, so to speak, until my next trip.
Senator, put the word in and perhaps Dana Gould will oblige. posted by Lesser Shrew at 2:33 PM on October 16, 2008
LOVE LOVE LOVE pseudopod. It's like This American Life for ghouls!
