News

On the main PODCAST page of iTunes you’ll notice that there is a temporarily featured “Sci-Fi Lovers” section. It is a listing of 16 podcasts, with what I think is a pretty nice selection of the top podcast. I’m pleased to see that the bias is definitely towards literary “Sci-Fi” with only 5 shows being television or movie related.

iTunes Features Sci-Fi Podcasts

Listed are many SFFaudio Favorites including:

James Patrick Kelly’s FREE READS, Escape Pod, Scott Sigler’s The Rookie, Slice Of Sci-Fi, J.C. Hutchins’ 7th Son – Book One – Descent, The Dragon Page: Cover To Cover, The Babylon Podcast, The Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas, a Darker Projects anthology series Dark Matter, The Secret World Chronicle, and StarShipSofa.

Shamefully and notably absent is The Time Traveler Show podcast!
