BBC7: Understand by Ted Chiang

Jesse Willis

SFFaudio Online Audio

BBC Radio 7 - BBC7Tuesday will see another broadcast of Understand by Ted Chiang. If you haven’t heard it before, don’t miss it! Understand was originally published in “Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine” in 1991. This outstanding novelette is one of the very best stories I’ve ever heard on radio. It was produced by Gemma Jenkins for the BBC and first broadcast in 2004 on BBC 7. Re-broadcasts of this popular tale have been heard in 2006 and 2007.

BBC Radio 7 - Understand by Ted ChiangUnderstand
By Ted Chiang; Read by Rashan Stone
4 half-hour segments – Approx. 2 Hours [UNABRIDGED]
Broadcaster: BBC Radio 7
Broadcast: Tuesday April 7th to Friday April 10th 2009 (6.30pm and 12.30am)
Leon is a former coma victim, who has gone experimental medical treatment to repair the massive trauma his brain received after he was trapped under ice for more than an hour. He’s regained consciousness, found he has all of his faculties back and a whole lot more. In the tradition of Daniel Keyes’ Flowers For Algernon.

If you don’t live in the U.K., or even if you do, I highly recommend you try out Radio Downloader, it takes the streamed broadcasts and converts them to MP3s with nary a trouble once its set up.

As you can see the collection has already achieved the highest goal it possibly could (the coveted SFFaudio Essential status), but having a Hugo award on the cover can’t hurt either. This is the first time an audiobook collection has been nominated for a Hugo award. The competition will be with: The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Hellboy II and Iron Man.

StarShipSofa podcasts all  Nebula Short Story nominees for 2008 in one day!


StarShipSofa has, in one day, done what no other SF podcast has done before. In another unprecedented move, StarShipSofa has put out all seven Nebula Short Story 2008 nominees, all available as free audio podcasts for your listening pleasure.

Tony, who helms the podcast, says, “The Nebula’s are a very special event in the SF world and I wanted the StarShipSofa to mark this occasion by doing something unique for this year’s awards.

“I wanted to put out all the stories nominated in one day so people can, straight away, have them downloaded back to back… sitting on their iPod and,  for the next few hours, submerge themselves in SF stories of the very best calibre. All for free.

“Things are changing rapidly in this medium and this is one example of StarShipSofa pushing the boundaries of normal podcasting in both terms of quality and accessibility.

“It’s what the StarShipSofa was built for.”
