Rumors: Escape Pod Podcast, YEAR 2

SFFaudio News

What’s a powerhouse podcast magazine like Escape Pod going to do to celebrate a full 52 continous weeks of Science Fiction goodness? Rumor has it that another Paul Di Filippo story is in the offing (possibly even on this week’s anniversary show)! Sometime after that there’s a good chance we’ll see a few, most or even all five of this year’s Hugo award short story nominees too! That’s right boys and girls it’s entirely possible that all five of the Hugo nominated stories will be gracing your MP3 player in the coming months:

Seventy-Five Years by Michael A. Burstein (Analog January/February 2005)
The Clockwork Atom Bomb by Dominic Green (Interzone May/June 2005)
Singing My Sister Down by Margo Lanagan (Black Juice, Allen & Unwin; Eos)
Tk’tk’tk by David D. Levine (Asimov’s March 2005)
Down Memory Lane by Mike Resnick (Asimov’s April/May 2005)
