Free Audio Science Fiction
Since I’ve already posted about Pseudopod the horror fiction podcast I might as well mention Escape Pod, it’s SciFi/Fantasy older sibling.
This is probably my favourite podcast. I’ve always been a fan of short fiction, particularly short science fiction and I’m an avid reader of Asimov’s, Analog and Interzone whenever I can lay my hands on a new copy. So the idea of an online audio magazine featuring science fiction short stories was likely to be popular with me.
You don’t need my biased view as a recommendation though, the quality of this podcast is quite self evident if you take this time to have a listen. The fiction really is of a high quality (whilst you don’t pay them, they do at least pay their authors) on the whole, and even when the quality dips it is still usually entertaining or interesting. They have even read Hugo Award nominees for the last few years for an idea of just how good some of the fiction is.
Go listen and look forward to Pod Castle, yet another podcast in this family which will be concentrating on Fantasy and should turn out to be another worthy bookmark.
