I like to think of my grandfather as someone with both hands on the steering wheel, even in the worst of times. I like to think of my grandfather as someone who grew tomatoes and stopped to help strangers. I like to think of my grandfather as someone who came back from World War II just as goofy and...

Richard awakes in the room. The air is clammy and Melina's pale, flabby thighs stick out from the rolled up blankets. Richard squints to make out the blurry digits on his clock. It is 6:30 AM. It is his 40th birthday. At the bathroom sink Richard rubs his eyes and habitually fumbles for his shaving ...

"I've built a time machine," the time-traveling man told Clara, on their first date. She never called him again. Well then screw her, the time-traveling man thought to himself. She may have been beautiful, but if she couldn't appreciate his brilliance, good riddance! Still, as the months passed, he ...

Just demonstrating how easy it is to bump people's old Drabbles forward to qualify for current prompts. Too bad you can't edit the subject line of other people's Drabbles with Bump for "XX" Prompt or something.

Sorry bout that, don't know how I missed. It all should be fixed by Saturday now though, the m4a kept uploading as the old file for some reason, had to rename the file to make it stick.

fixed. sorry bout that y'all

A man, his girlfriend, and a wounded walrus just moved into the condo next door. How do I know the walrus is wounded, you ask? Because no normal functioning walrus would ever sound like that, trust me. Each night I listen through the walls to the creature's relentless bellowing; the frenzied huffing...

Hah, in the unedited footage you would have heard me ask how many people knew what a podcast was/listened to podcasts and about five people in the crowd of about 30-40 raised their hands. There was also some lengthy banter between a drunk clueless guy in the audience who kept raising his hand to ask...

Wish they returned email! Seems like a fine partnership with the broader podcast community. Myself, Pseudopod, Tales to Terrify, Cast Macabre and NoSleep podcast have all tried emailing-- no replies. Lotta people would like to figure out how they hit so big outside the standard podcast fiction audie...

The polarization continues! Some good writing/thoughts/discussion on this story from Cory Doctorow, Jake Kerr http://nofsgiven.wordpress.com/2014/03/ ... equations/

heh, I appreciate when you guys appreciate it, tis all I really need. The last time I had to battle myself was at the end of Double Dragon II, and even then I had my brother Jimmy Lee's trusty Hurricane Kick.

Been enjoying this podcast. I also read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Imp of the Perverse" for them this week. http://journeyintopodcast.blogspot.com/ ... edgar.html

Had no idea this existed. Pretttttttty weird (but hey, it's modern dance. and hey, this is drabblecast).

This was apparently choreographed and performed at NEIU in Chicago a couple years ago.

FDA approved! Although apparently industry consumption is only at like 300 lb's a year, whereas synthetics like vanillan are over 2.6 million pounds. Apparently it's easier to just have scientists make sweetener in a lab rather than convince them to squeeze it from a beaver's ass. Still, it's only l...

Interesting that so many of you thought the MC was a female. Would have thought that being read by a male (me!) would have snuffed out any doubt.

it was good stuff, but on some level I'd prefer more than acceptance of reality as the climax. I'd like to see change or some members of either species considering different ways to co-exist. I feel like she presented impregnation and pregnancy both as things forced on the main character (in some s...

I couldn't quite shake the idea of Octavia Butler as Crazy Eyes in Orange is the New Black . That probably wouldn't have been the case if Norm had not introduced her as a black lesbian. My feeling that the story idea was bound up in her sexuality was pretty much reinforced by her own comments. For ...

In case you missed the live rebroadcast celebration of Orson Welles War of the Worlds 75th anniversary-- broadcast http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/2013/10/2 ... xperiment/

It's worth re-listening to again. I forgot how fun it is.
