Story Time!

When I have work that does not require my full concentration (or when I'm doing things like cooking), I love to listen to podcasts. Especially my favourite one - Escape Pod. (Part of the reason why this is my favourite is that it's how I discovered podcasts, and especially fiction podcasts.) There's always a long list of podcast episodes lined up on my phone so I can enjoy them offline; most of them are fiction podcasts, though I do have a few nonfiction ones (about history, philosophy, and bouldering. Yes, it's a weird mix.)

Recently, there was a story that I liked even better than I like most of their stories - "Martian Chronicles" by Cory Doctorow. It's a longer story, so it comes in two parts, and I loved both the story itself and the narration (by Adam Pracht, who does a splendid job). So if you have some time on your hands (or on your ears?), and would like to fill it with a good story - I'd recommend listening to Martian Chronicles.
