A sister podcast to Escape Pod presenting a fantasy story each week. It took me a while to get into this. My standards have been raised pretty high and it took some time for the programme to find its feet. I've found good stories are thinner on the ground here but I can recommend The Grand Cheat.

Each week Escape Pod presents a science fiction story read by the presenter or a guest reader. In the 170 episodes since it began it's grown and changed. It's something I look forward to each week. The stories are varied but some have been absolutely excellent. I'd particularly recommend: Impossible Dreams, Barnaby in Exile, and In the Late December but that's just small selection of the good stuff. I enjoy Steve Ely's presentation giving an insight into the world of science fiction, podcasting, or real life. I'm less happy that the show now has a sponser each week which can feel intrusive or repetative. However you shouldn't let that put you off, it's still definitely worth it.
