Wow, you managed to somehow make this story grosser...

HAHA what??? please explain...in as delicate language as possible.

Hey, I just read the stories.

Any cute pics of Clara that we could melt over yet? Feel free to share (unless you'd rather not have them one click away from pics of the Octo-child or Tree-man, which is understandable)

HAHA wow!
Thanks for sharing this site Philippa!

Haha- wow, that's actually a hilarious idea. I'll run it by the crew.

As for the story, I enjoyed the suddeness with which the pimple began to take a humanoid appearance. It was like BLAM! I think we've all had a memorable cyst experience, but perhaps not viewed it so maternally.

Congrats! Very pretty names!

What a great coincidence with this week's story.

Oh that was just me being sassy. MMMhmm

I think you got sick because you were behind in your podcasting. The same thing happened to an isolated village in Costa Rica...

Haha, well I am from Georgia. I thought it was alluded in a super subtle way that she was at mental home. At the end she sat on the porch- a "different porch"- playing with her buttons. I dunno, could have been reading too much into it. I know some people who would be less affected if the victim was...

whoa, totally different take on the story than I had Tweedy. I'll have to go back and listen again with your interpretation in mind. I hadn't considered that the narrator might be from an advanced human race- I definately thought it was an alien narrator- like he was making a soliloquy relaying all ...

Yeah, this is one of my favorite stories we've gotten. It was pretty heavy for the first half before it started getting gross and tragic. I liked the end, with the aliens having to "adapt to be able to live with themselves", - implies that even beings, no matter how advanced or "moral" they think th...

tBaker I agree with your remarks about short fiction- I think we will be doing more shorter work- expecially drabbles, because of all the feedback like yours we've gotten. Feel free to say what you liked or disliked about the stories though, these are discussion forums! I think Escapepod is a great ...

http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/09/19/peru-meteorite.html 600 sick in Peru after 'meteorite' crashes Last Updated: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 | 1:13 AM ET CBC News Hundreds of people flocked to get medical treatment after an apparent meteorite crashed in a remote part of southern Peru over the...

Let's just say that while the Black and White animals trilogy may never win a Parsec award, it would be all over the "Worst puns in podcasting" award...if there were one.

Huh, I had the opposite reaction Tweedy- I liked all 3 but Pork/SteakEye was my favorite and Witness my least. It's maybe just because I kept annoying myself with the robot voice when I was trying to read it- I had to take a more human/butler approach to be able to stand it. I liked Wiggin's when I ...

Yah, "parasitic twin" is a weird phrase that always conjures up nightmares of waking up one morning to find a lamprey-like me affixed to my stomach through some sort of circular suction mouth.
Thanks for sending in the news ayn!

Yah, I really like Matt Wallace's stories on VF. I haven't heard that one though Kevin, I'll have to check that out. EP and PP are my staples, but I like Mysterious Universe, AIr Out my SHorts and Destructomundo too Mysterious Universe is fun if your into paranormal stuff or if you like to make fun ...

Say, Norm, what's your day job? My wife wants to know. Do you do the music full-time or is that a second moonlight enterprise? I work for a newspaper, an organ of the evil mainstream press, spurner of the profound and purveyor of the lowest common denominator. I make ads, but most of the products a...

BANGALORE, India - Revered by some in her village as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, a 2-year-old girl born with four arms and four legs was undergoing surgery Tuesday to leave her with a normal body. The girl named Lakshmi is joined to a "parasitic twin" that stopped developing in the mother'...

I have thought of other possible final lines that would have worked for this story- not just about the end being a joke. There are endings that might have said more about what the author was presenting on guilt. What if Brian just dropped the monkey in a trash can on his way out- like Luke said? Wou...

Hehe thanks. This one distracted me a bit too much from the necessary tediums of life and I'm still trying to catch up.
Glad people enjoyed though.

I especially liked the Drabble- What's the title Kevin, is that a figure of speech I've never heard?
