My Weekly Escape

“When I was younger, and had much more free time than I do now, I used to love reading Science Fiction anthologies. There’s something about the SF short story - bite-sized views of unknown and exotic worlds - that just hits the imagination’s sweet spot. However, these days I don’t get as much time to read, and when I do it’s usually “proper” novels.
On my wandering through the online universe, I discovered the Escape Pod podcast. It solves all my problems in one swoop - I get a SF hit without having to “make” time… I can listen while cooking, cleaning or in the car. The short story format means that I don’t have to remember a previous episode or catch up to what’s happened previously, I can just dive right in.
So what of the stories themselves?
Some are pure enjoyable escapism. Some make you stop and think - what would it be like if you could travel back in time or if we invented a true artificial intelligence? Some echo problems humanity has at this present moment in the real world, but just from a different perspective.
All of the stories I have listened to have been thoroughly enjoyable and captivating - not bad for absolutely free!
Escape Pod is released weekly, and is approximately half an hour long.”
