A blog of indiscriminate crafting and random thoughts on life.
Escape Artists started producing another podcast and they asked me to read for it, so I did.
You can find it here.
Cast of Wonders is more YA/kid focused as the audience so if you have someone on your life who is young but likes sci-fi/fantasy short stories, this might be a good podcast to pass on to said youngster.
My latest voice work for Escape Artists has been published.
PseudoPod 559: Granite Requires by T.J. Berry.
This is the 9th time I’ve read for Escape Artists, and the 5th time for PseudoPod specifically.
Early feedback on this has been very enthusiastic so I am guessing I did a good job. I recorded it at the same time I did “Bring The Moon To Me” which was released back in April, but then did the edit/clean up later on. (Turns out our computer room has a different sound to it with the different seasons, so that made drop in edits interesting.) This story was easily the longest one I’ve recorded but I could hear her speak so clearly in my head when I read it that I knew it’d be a pretty good fit.
I read another story for Escape Artist’s podcast, Pseudopod recently. It was just a short flash fiction piece in an episode that had several works in it, but I loved it (and I don’t always love the things I read). It has binary, knitting, the moon, and magic in it. If you want to check it out, you can find it here.
If you’re here for the Plated recipes, they will be caught up soon! Come back again later. :D
I read a story for Pseudopod again.
You can find it here:
I liked the story, and quite enjoyed reading it. Hopefully the podcast listeners will as well.
So I seem to be eligible for a 2014 Parsec award for my readings for Pseudopod. If you are the nominating type I am eligible in two categories.
Best Speculative Fiction Story: Large Cast (Short Form) for Pseudopod 369: Four Views Of The Big Cigar In Winter by Charlie Bookout
and
Best Speculative Fiction Story: Small Cast (Short Form) for Pseudopod 348: The Easily Forgotten by Philip M. Roberts
Go and nominate (or not!) as you wish.
If you are the type who likes audiobooks and short stories, I highly recommend the three Escape Artist podcasts. Pseudopod is horror, Podcastle is Fantasy, and Escapepod is Sci-Fi. I’ve somehow managed to read for all three at this point, and while I am not a regular reader for any of them, I have been a listener for years.
If at some point you find you are curious about the stuff I have read and want to have a listen it’s all listed here.
I’ve read a thing for someone on the internet.
If you like podcasts and Fantasy Short Stories, check out Podcastle.
In fact, if you like, you can start with the story I read here.
I have photos of the Rainbow Campfire Mitts finally.
I finished the Cat’s Cocoon thing, which he loves and will actually get in and not just lay on, but damned if he’ll stay in it when I am trying to get a photo of him using it.
It’s just not happening. He did make sure to guard it while I took a photo of it however, because he’s most definitely sure that it is HIS and he is NOT going to share it. Shmoo tried to raise it up a bit for me and Bri huffed at him and put his foot down on it so he could not.
I also knit a [Minecraft] slime as a Christmas Gift for a 2 year old, and it was a hit with most everyone but the recipient. This is to be expected of course, he’s 2. :) Even shmoo said he was really impressed at how it turned out, which he rarely says about any of the knitting anymore.
That’s it! Here’s your photos.
