City Talkers on Escape Pod

Filed under Audio, Stories | Leave a Comment

Escape Pod Science Fiction Podcast It’s nearly half a year ago that I told about my progress with Escape Pod and I can again report that I am working my way to the top of the list. The top of the list is obviously the newest story on Escape Pod.

In case you don’t know about this podcast - Steve Eley publishes a science fiction story each and every week and I try to miss none. Thanks to pod-casting and mp3 players I am succeeding. The only problem is that when I don’t have to drive much, the stories accumulate on my mp3-player/cell-phone.

Just the other day I worked on a story from late December - OK - work might not be quite the right word. This story, City Talkers by Mur Lafferty fascinated me because it goes very nicely in the direction I am going. I am not much of a City Talker, which is something like a horse whisperer, but for cities - not the people in the city, but the city him or herself, but I’m a pretty good computer whisperer.

I would definitely recommend to subscribe to the Escape Pod-cast, but if I got a bit of your interest, this one story I liked a lot you can enjoy right here…

I am not a native born American - so no worries - I can not be president. At least not before Arnold will change the rules… I wonder how he will pull this off, maybe go back in time and tweak things a bit.

Anyway, here is what I found today and which needs to be listened to - over and over and over again…
