Witness, over in the skies of Podcastle, Jessica Lee's short story "Supehero Girl," a story about dualtiy and superheroes. Maybe. It's great fun and one of the shortest full length stories Podcastle's run, but it packs a punch that makes Val Kilmer look like Adam West. It was originally published in Fantasy Magazine, and read by Jack Mangan, the

Terrific story. (It might work a little better in print where you can see which sections are italicized.)

One suggestion: Is it hard to have a link that goes to the discussion forum thread for the story next to links for "Play Now", "Play in Popup" and "Download", or some other place where someone might notice it? Currently, there is a "Discussion Forums" link, but it's at the very bottom of the side column. I searched the page you linked to for where the oft-mentioned (but rarely directed to) discussion forum might be. It took me at least a minute to notice the tiny text underneath the two attention grabbing icons for Escape Artists's two other podcasts. (Of course, that link goes to the forums as a whole, not to the thread for the story.)

And I'm someone who's been to the discussion forum before and so I know first hand that they really do exist.

Good point, John. It does seem a bit frustrating. When you check out the main page, there's more links to the forums. But when you click a link for a specific episode, yeah, only at the bottom of the page...I'll forward this on and see if something can't be done.

Oh, I like that story.
Good job doing the reading for "Change," BTW!

Yeah, I'm a total sucker for a good superhero story :)

And thanks :)
