PodCastle is the world’s first fantasy audio magazine. Each week we bring you short stories across the spectrum of fantasy from leading authors and new discoveries. Like our sister podcasts, Escape Pod and Pseudopod, PodCastle is entirely free to listen and share.
Podcastle is also edited by noted fantasy writer Rachel Swirsky, aka Mandolin. I regularly listen to Escape Pod (which is science fiction focused), but I’m really more a fantasy reader, so I’ve been looking forward to this.
The premiere podcast features one of the biggest names in fantasy fiction, and a short story I was once obsessed with: “Come, Lady Death” by Peter. S. Beagle.
I love the image of the floating podcastle. It makes me wonder where it’s going to go, perhaps someone will write a story on that. I might..but knowing me, I’ll probably find myself distracted by something and won’t. LoL
