Escape pod

[Doug]

I was wondering, does anyone else listen to the "Escape pod" podcast? www.escapepod.org

For those of you who don't know what it is, basically they buy short Sci-Fi stories and narate them into a podcast. Typically 30 to 60 minutes long, with 'flash' pieces of less, I find its a good listen, especially if your doing a jog/run - nice to listen too and gets less repeative than music, I find.

Origin story [http://escapepod.org/2009/03/12/ep190-origin-story/] is my current favourite, and I figured might appeal to alot of people here.

Also, they branched out into fantasty and horror podcasts with 'podcastle [http://podcastle.org/]' and 'pseudopod [http://pseudopod.org/]'

I thought this would be about escape pods, or variations thereof. Like how when the Titanic was built, the norm was to assign Lifeboats for gross tonnage, not by passengers.

-Never heard of it before, and I'm listening to that 'Origin Story'. It sounds interesting.

Yeah, and then when it sank...oh dear.... anywho, not every story is good, but alot of them are, and the main host often has interesting tid bits.

Alternative story's that are good for a listen in the flash (i.e. short) section are:
I was death by bullet but I was killed by a woman [http://escapepod.org/2009/03/16/escape-pod-flash-it-was-death-by-a-bullet-but-i-was-killed-by-a-woman/] (PG)
Standards [http://escapepod.org/2008/12/29/escape-pod-flash-standards/] (G - and funny!)
and lastly My Angel Gabriel [http://escapepod.org/2009/03/09/escape-pod-flash-my-angel-gabriel/] (G)
