Dick Dynamo: The 5th Dimensional Man podcast is just about the wackiest show I’ve ever heard. I love it’s unpredictable plotting, hilarious dialogue and awesome production values. Episode two, which recently aired on the Sonic Society podcast, was knee-slappingly funny. Check out the all new Dick Dynamo website and the latest installment of Dick’s manly 5th dimensional adventures:

BBC7‘s Yes it is a re-run, but what a re-run it is! The 7th Dimension slot has aired Burning Chrome at least a couple times previously. The first time was way back in 2003. I’ve heard this Gibson story more than once now, and it is a terrific listen. First published in Omni magazine back in 1982 it tells the story of professional hackers trying to pull off a big heist. One line from this story — “…the street finds its own uses for things” — has become a widely-quoted aphorism.
