As I get immense pleasure from listening to them, here’s a plug for my favourite podcast, and some related ones.

If science fiction is your bag, check out Escape Pod, a mixture of new and classic short stories – I loved this weeks story: “How I Mounted Goldie, Saved My Partner Lori, and Sniffed Out The People’s Justice”, by Sulley Dog.

Escape Artists also do Podcastle, for fantasy stories, and Pseudopod for horror – and it’s not kid’s stuff; only listen to this last if you like to be disturbed.

Also just started, and plugged after this week’s Escape Pod, is Crimewav.com, the return of short crime fiction, now on episode 5.
