read by Kathryn Baker
The trouble with knowing everything there is to know, Stephanie Dowling decided instantly, because that’s how clever she was, was that when there was something unknown out there, she had nobody to consult.
And there was something unknown out there, nibbling away at the edge of the economy, and screwing with [...] | Get at Short URL | Download EP223: The Uncanny Valley | Play in Popup.

| EP222: Infestation | by Garth Nix
read by Geoff Michelli
They were the usual motley collection of freelance vampire hunters. Two men, wearing combinations of jungle camouflage and leather. Two women, one almost indistinguishable from the men though with a little more style in her leather armour accessories, and the other looking like she was about to assault the south [...] | Get at Short URL | Download EP222: Infestation | Play in Popup.

| EP216: βoyfriend | by Madeline Ashby
read by Tina Connolly
Violet snapped three photos of herself from various angles, sent them, and waited for her boyfriend’s response. He rang her up?a slow vibrating purr, unlike the staccato door-knocking of her mother’s ringvibe?and said: “Me likey. Now take it off.”
Violet frowned. “You were supposed to dig up the backstory on the [...] | Get at Short URL | Download EP216: βoyfriend | Play in Popup.

| EP214: Sinner, Baker, Fablist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast | by Eugie Foster
Narrated by Lawrence Santoro
Each morning is a decision. Should I put on the brown mask or the blue? Should I be a tradesman or an assassin today?
Whatever the queen demands, of course, I am. But so often she ignores me, and I am left to figure out for myself who [...] | Get at Short URL | Download EP214: Sinner, Baker, Fablist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast | Play in Popup.

| Escape Pod Flash: Tired | By Michael Bishop
Read by John Meagher
One morning, Gordon Pointer received an e-message from the left-front Goodstone tire on his old Callisto sedan. (He had bought the car used over a decade ago and retrofitted it for the intelligent interstates of the Piedmont metrosprawl.) Gordon abhorred palmflips, infraspecs, logomaniacs, microserfs, lapcops, and digital Kleenex, but he [...] | Get at Short URL | Download Escape Pod Flash: Tired | Play in Popup.

Intro by Norm Sherman of Drabblecast.
Closing song, Jesus Clones
First appeared in Ideomancer
“You’re a disgrace to your calling and your species.” The Cardinal’s words were at odds with the verging-on-seductive voice of the translator embedded in the Anturean’s Chlor-tank. From beneath lowered lashes Ignatz O’Reilly, D.D. Inter-Species, [...] | Get at Short URL | Download EP 203: The Legend of St. Ignatz | Play in Popup.

| Escape Pod Flash: Taco | By Greg Van Eekhout
Read by John Meagher
“Hey, tell me, this look like Jesus to you?”
I come to Tito’s Tacos for a lot of reasons. The freeway overpass
ambience, the way the old men in the kitchen wrap the burritos tighter
than Cuban cigars, the shiny Kennedy 50-cent pieces you always get as
part of your change. A lot [...] | Get at Short URL | Download Escape Pod Flash: Taco | Play in Popup.
