Our very own commenter, the snarky and perspicacious Jake Squid, has narrated ‘Chump Change‘, a just-aired episode of Escape Pod. His reading is stellar, and if you listen to it, you’ll be that much more able to imagine his comments in his voice, which adds something, I think.
Escape Pod is the science-fictional sister podcast to PodCastle, Mandolin’s excellent podcast of fantasy short fiction. Over the past year or so, I’ve worked my way through every single episode in the the archives of PodCastle, Escape Pod, and Pseudopod, their horror affiliate, and I can say with conviction that if you’re not listening to them regularly, your life is empty and meaningless.
A note to whoever inserted the squid image: Awesome.
I’ve always imagined that that’s pretty much how Jake Squid looks, anyhow, typing away with his tentacles.

I was the one who inserted the image — I couldn’t resist. Glad you liked it. :-)
Thanks for the kind words, Myca. It was a blast to do.
That picture of the squid, did you take that yourself? I took the same picture myself, in central newfoundland, I can’t remember where the squid is because I was young at the time but I was visiting my grandfather in Pilley’s Island at the time so it’s not far from there. Are from Newfoundland too, or were you just visiting? Where is the squid exactly? Do you know? I found it fascinating that I searched “squid” on google and found a picture that I recognize, haha.
I just remembered it was Glover’s Harbour. Small world :P
