Radio Stars

You listen to a podcast that you like for months and years and you start feeling like you know the people on the show a little. Their voices are certainly familiar and you know a bit about their personalities. And so you start to wonder what they look like. At least I did. So by various means I've located pix of the people behind my favourite podcasts. Check them out! These guys rule my mp3 player and they should be on yours as well.

Did you mean randiest?


Update same day: Says Diana Brown (appending this portrait photo where she looks really delectable and I ain't sharing it with you guys, so there), "Thank you for your very kind mention of our work on Aardvarchaeology. Your blog rules! Thanks for listening."

I've been a devotee of Escape Pod, the weekly science-fiction short-story podcast, for 2.5 years now. Its audience has grown and grown and grown until Escape Pod is now the world's second-largest paying market for sf short fiction regardless of medium. It's second only to Analog! Steve Eley, who…

Escape Pod episode #235 has been sitting on my smartphone since January because of its beautiful writing and archaeological theme. Jay Lake's 2009 story "On the Human Plan" is told in a gentleman-rogue style reminiscent of Leiber and Vance, and is set in a far future Dying Earth environment with…
[More blog entries about podcasting; podcasting, webbradio.] I've been laid low all day with a cold.
