There’s honest and frank discussions of the works contained within those to publications. So if you plan to read them its probably best to do so before the podcast.  You will find the stories for free online, but please consider subscribing, you’ll get them in the much more readable ereader formats.

The stories discussed in from :Clarkesworld #75, December 2012 and Lightspeed #32, January 2013.  All the Clarkesworld pieces are available online, some of the Lightspeed stories are yet to tick over to free online status.

Pre-season Last Short Story- Episode 2: After, Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling eds

 

I think the concept of turning the Not if You Were the Last Short Story on Earth project into a podcast was a stroke of brilliance.  The idea of brining in extra commentators to combat burnout and keep opinions and tone diverse, even more so.

Mondy and Jonathan have been podcasting a pre-season, a testing of the waters, so to speak.  Personally, I think they could just do away with the concept of a preseason and just go with it.  I think the concept is good.  I am already more inclined to listen and checkout short works when presented in this medium.

In this episode Jonathan and Mondy are joined by original co-conspirator, Tansy Rayner Roberts in discussing the collection After by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling.

Podcasts coming out my ears

…which is a good thing of course.  And I couldn’t even complain if I wanted to, as I do contribute to the problem field.

So coming up in the next week or so, depending on the team’s work commitments will be a Galactic Chat with the talented Tor Roxburgh, author of The Light Heart of Stone, which I reviewed here.

So keep your ears open or perhaps go and subscribe to the podcast and work your way through the back catalogue.

But wait there’s more.

Mondy Ditmar and Chronos award wining Ian Mond of Writer & The Critic/Shooting the Poo Podcast and Hugo Nominated Jonathan Strahan of Coode Street have teamed up for an audio version of the Last Short Story Project (yes, the audiophile Mr Mond graced us,skype podcasting community, with his presence).  You can check out and subscribe to their new podcast here.
