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)

Paperbook novel Infoquake promoted via limited MP3 chapter releases

SFFaudio News

Podcast Promoted Novel - InfoquakeAuthor David Lousie Edelman has posted (in MP3 format) the first of seven planned chapters of his forthcoming SF novel Infoquake. It looks like a unique promotion designed to pimp the paperbook release due out this July. But there’s a caveat, if you become addicted to the audio you’ll be forced to switch to the dead tree edition after chapter seven as it looks like the rest of the novel (everything after the first seven chapters) won’t be podcast or turned into an audiobook at all!

If you’re still interested you can subscribe to the free feed for the first seven chapters of Infoquake by plugging this url into your podcatcher:
