I might wear different shades though.

Podcast Pick – Transmissions From Beyond

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, [...]

Free Audio Drama – Conan: Queen of the Black Coast

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.

Podcast Pick – PodCastle : The Fantasy Fiction Podcast

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 [...]

Free Audiobook – The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

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 [...]

Podcast Pick – Berkeley Groks Science Show

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.
