If you've been following this blog for a while, you will know about my love for EscapePod, the weekly free science fiction podcast. I also like its sister podcasts PodCastle and Cast of Wonders.

In fact, I like them so much that a few years ago, I offered to narrate for them. Now... I'm no native English speaker, and my accent and voice are a bit, let's call it "unique", so I am not a voice that's called on often.

Which means I've only done it once before - so my delight was immense when, a while ago, I got the opportunity to do it again, with a wonderful and slightly weird story by Finnish writer Ville Merilainen.

The episode is live now, and you can listen to it via the CoW website - or with your favourite podcatcher.
