I’ve been trying to catch up on all the good podcasts, which means listening to the nearly 150 short stories and whatnot on Escapepod. Now what should I find as I get toward the end of the queue, not one, but two RevolutionSF fiction stories posted on Escapepod!
This is great, I thought We have both "Pressure" by Jeff Carlson and "Edward Bear’s Long Walk" by Ken Scholes. I thought the Escapepod version of "Edward Bear" was probably the better way to experience that story, just because it’s told from the point of view of a simplistic narrator and that goes over better verbally than as the written word. The Escapepod version of "Pressure" I didn’t feel converted as well, since there’s a long text-messaging segment and a good deal of technical explanation.
But then the stories ended and I realized that not once did Stephen Eley, the editor of Escapepod.org, mention RevolutionSF.com! Sure, they were reprints by the time we got them too, but considering that the stories appeared in successive episodes on escapepod.org, I have to say that I was more than a little hurt by Stephen Eley’s oversight.
Just a sec, I have to wipe away some bitter tears.
Okay, I’m back. So, I would like everyone on this site to join me in my self-righteous moral outrage and condemn Stephen Eley and the lax publishing-history-posting policy of escapepod.org.
Don’t stop listening to them or anything, they still rock, just be all huffy.
