Happy weekend, all you sophonts! If it's good weather or at least a low-radiation environment where you are, consider a nice stroll as you experience our latest original, "Walking with Thorny" by Stetson Bostic. Just make sure you have enough air around and you'll be fine.

This is a lovely little story that's really suited to the audio format. There's a lot of poetry in this one that I would have bounced off if I'd been reading, but which really worked when read aloud.

It's the ass end of the week, and we've got a Flashback Friday story for you all with profanity for miles! Tune your eyes, ears, and equivalents to "Punk Voyager" by Shaenon K. Garrity, and as always, if you find any misplaced plutonium do *not* lick it. Who knows who licked it first?

Hello, sky app. Now that I've done the fun part of writing (getting stories published), I have to do the not-fun part (shouting about said stories into the void and hoping somebody notices).
Anyway, check out this story in @escapepod.org about fortune tellers, AI and the magic of the Jersey Shore.

Also, I hope everyone will consider whether @escapepod.org has earned a spot in your Best Semiprozine slot. Not because it’s my last year of eligibility as part of the team, but because I know @wabaunsee.bsky.social has taken over so smoothly that the pod is doing better than ever!
