BrokenSea: 2109: Black Sun Rising [AUDIO DRAMA]
My friend, Bill Hollweg, has posted the first episode of his new original Science Fiction audio drama series 2109: Black Sun Rising. Produced for BrokenSea Audio Productions, the show makes extensive use of the stereo format (so be sure to use headphones or widely spaced speakers while listening). Also present are a many allusive character names, a plethora of familiar voice actors, and a teensy bit of harsh language.

LibriVox: The Highwayman by Lord Dunsany (aka The Highwaymen)
Sometimes titled The Highwayman, sometimes The Highwaymen, Lord Dunsany’s elegant prose poem is an 1,800 word tale about a scabrous gang of bastard highwaymen. And it has something for almost everyone.
I think, despite the sacrilege and desecration in the story, that my Christian friends will like it – it’s got a lot of that redemption stuff they are big on.
I’m confident that fans of capital punishment will like it – because it certainly doesn’t repudiate legalized killing.
And my friend, Gregg Margarite, who didn’t believe in any of the underlying mythology, liked it enough to read it for LibriVox.
And me?
Yep, I like The Highwayman too.
I like the overarching premise, about friendship, I think it’s heartwarming.
Plus it’s got lot of ghoulish shit in it, and I like that stuff too.
