@BE would you and kiddo be willing to share that list? No worries if not.

Some of those authors and others have wonderful short stories (and narrated podcasts) in the monthly magazines @clarkesworld #BeyondCeaselessSkies #Podcastle #Lightspeed @UncannyMagazine #EscapePod and others.

The latest #PodCastle episode, A Most Lovely Song, did not hold back.
"There’s a flash of light — a rush of air — and then, the opening trill of a song. The melody is like clockwork, intricately choreographed and precisely engineered. The notes fly up and down, astounding the boy. In a flash of copper plumage, a bird sweeps out of the sky.

Looking for folk associated with #EscapeArtists #PodCastle #PseudoPod #EscapePod

My new website has a poetry project that I worked on mostly in 2022 and links to my work for #PodCastle. I’ll be posting my academic publications soon and may consider putting some photography up as well.

@golgaloth @bookstodon I got Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz by Garth Nix, which I am very excited about. A long time ago I heard some of the short stories about these characters on PodCastle, and I really enjoyed them. Looking forward to reading the whole collection.

@DapperDinobot @jdnicoll I've listened to a few of those stories on #EscapePod or #PodCastle and loved them. I'm so excited to hear they're in print. Thanks for sharing.

Ha!!

Having a weird moment when one of my favorite internet radio stations, #RadioParadise, is playing Shiva in Exile's "Breathing" which is the theme to #PodCastle, the fantasy fiction podcast I used to be audio producer for. Such a weird moment to be hearing the entire song in such an unexpected moment.

Speaking of, are there #EscapeArtists folk out here in the fediverse?

This past week I’ve been off work spending time taking Celestine on little adventures. I’ve enjoyed sharing some of that on the fediverse and having a bit more time to keep up with things. https://apollolemmon.com/2023/08/20/social-digest-2023-08-13-2023-08-19/
