iTunes lists 16 "Sci-Fi Lovers" Podcasts

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!

Blackstone Audiobooks for Spring & Summer 2007

SFFaudio News

Audiobooks - Blacksone Audio Blackstone Audiobooks has a solid line-up of Science Fiction and Fantasy for the spring and summer 2007. Among the many titles is Variable Star, the “collaboration” between Robert A. Heinlein and Spider Robinson which of course will be read by Spider Robinson. Also, interesting, but not listed below, Blackstone will be selling the The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas. Already underway is the Orson Scott Card’s Alvin Maker series, the first of which came out this month – these are re-issued and re-recorded with multiple narrators, likely by master audiobook producer Stefan Rudnicki (the series was previously recorded in abridged versions for Dove Audio, with readings by Nana Visitor).
