Transmissions From Beyond is a short fiction based podcast from TTA press, the people who produce in my opinion the best short fiction magazines available (Interzone, Black Static, Crimewave). Three episodes are already available, each containing one story read from each of the publications mentioned above.
I really can’t stress enough how good these magazines are, [...]

Being a huge fan of both pulp fiction (the writing kind not the movie) and audio drama, I really can’t resist the lure of a full cast audio drama of a Conan the Barbarian story.
You can find most of the Conan stories online as ebooks, along with the rest of Robert E. Howard’s writing as [...]

Over at the brilliant Zombie Astronaut’s website you’ll find the unofficial/official podcast of the Canadian comedy science fiction radio series Canadia 2056.
I’m a few episodes in and really enjoying it. It’s the old “idiots/characters in space” format that made shows like Hitchhiker’s Guide and Red Dwarf so enjoyable and they really do have some great [...]

To celebrate the release of the final part in the Legacy of the Force series, Del Rey books and Random House audio are giving the first book in the series away for free both as an ebook and an mp3 audiobook.
It’s a time limited offer until the 13th May 2008 so hurry over here and [...]

As I tend to ignore most of the news on April 1st due to the oh so hilarious April Fool’s jokes, I missed the start of PodCastle, a podcast I had been looking forward to some time.
It’s from the same people who produce EscapePod and PseudopPod, two superb fiction podcasts. PodCastle follows in their footsteps [...]

Head over to The Independent where you can snag a copy of Iain Bank’s excellent debut novel The Wasp Factory as an audiobook.
It’s from Audible so probably has the cursed DRM but you can always just burn it to CD. You’ll need to register but it’s no bad thing, Audible are a decent company and [...]

One of the best sources of free audio on the internet are the many podcasts available, so I thought start a new series of posts picking some of what I think are the best podcasts around. No doubt some will disagree with my rather random selection but if you have any recommendations feel free to [...]

A couple of nice sites for the little ones I seemed to find within days of each other.

First up is Storynory, a free audio podcast providing a new story each week. There are both classic fairy tales and fiction plus newer original (I think) stories, all of which read by Natasha who has a really [...]

Back with more sleazy lounge electronica is the follow up to the very popular first compilation album, and just in time for valentines day…how romantic.
I’ve not listened yet but the first one was better than expected, and you’ve just got to love the idea of porn ‘wakka chikka’ inspired music.
WM Recordings has gladly agreed [...]

Sticking with the Cthulu theme, why not grab this mp3 of Neil Gaiman’s A Study in Emerald available free from Harper Collins e-books.
Alluding to both the Sherlock Holmes canon and the Old Ones of the Cthulhu Mythos, this Hugo Award winning short story will delight fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.P. Lovecraft, and of [...]
