Podcasts!
So, as a result of my new longer commute to work, I've been listening so a lot more podcasts of late that I think might be of interest to people here:
Decoder Ring Theatre: DRT 'casts weekly audio dramas in the style of Golden Age radio, but updated for modern sensibilities. They have two main series that they publish: Black Jack Justice, which is Sam Spade-style detective stories about PI Jack Justice and his partner, Trixie Dixon, Girl Detective; and Tales of the Red Panda, which tells the story of a Shadow-style vigilante who protects Toronto alongside his sidekick, the Flying Squirrel. Both are entertaining, although I think I prefer Justice a bit more.
Paul and Storm Talk About Stuff for 5 to 20 Minutes (On Average): If you've seen Paul and Storm live, the podcast is basically a weekly twenty to twenty-five minute dose of their stage banter . Hilarious nerdy stream-of-consciousness type stuff.
the Escape Artists podcasts: EA started with Escape Pod, a sci-fi podcast, but have since expanded to feature horror stories in Pseudopod and fantasy ones in Podcastle. If you're a fan of any of those genres, those podcasts are well worth a check - these podcasts have featured some of the best stories in their genres that I've ever read..
Well-Told Tales: Weekly doses of "pulp fiction" in all its myriad genres. I'm finding pulp-style material is well-represented in podcasted fiction; I don't know if that's just because that's the stuff that I'm interested in, or if it's just overrepresented in the medium alltogether. WTT is currently in the middle of an eight-part epic story called "I Killed Awesomeman!"
Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing: A nonfiction cast for a change - featuring half-hour interviews with some of the hottest and biggest names in science fiction literature. Interesting perspectives for fans of the genre.
The Zombie Chronicles: A new podiobook by a Toronto writer that I learned about through Nocturne. Set in a zombie-infested future where the government clones people and feeds the clones to the zombies. However, not all is as it seems ... (the story's only recently started, so theres not much more than that that I can say for now)
The Takeover: more zombies! This one's an office comedy about a web startup that has merged with a staffing company that uses the undead to fill menial positions. Very funny stuff.
