“I really enjoy this podcast. Speculative fiction + current events is, weirdly, just what I need right now.”

“Listened to “the people of music” and subscribed.
Too bad this kind of future doesn’t seem too imaginary”

“Just listening to the intro of this podcast through others the host says a derogatory comment about the president. You can surely state facts without a tacky and biased opinion. Won’t give this any more attention.”

“Love the format, bite-size fiction that’s relevant, at times scary but always captivating. The best part is that if you want to read the story or listen to a full interview you have that option too. Keep up the great work!”

“Listened to all of these inspired stories in one night. Definitely depressing—pulled from our current headlines—but also amusing and thought provoking.”

“I know it’s supposed to be topical on current news events, but the stories are soooo on the nose. It waffles between preaching and wish fulfillment. I wish the stories were a little more subtle.”

“What New Yorker did for short fiction in the 40’s. Hardly ever soothing; always riveting.”

“Early reader when Chronicles of Now first launched. And now a delightful podcast.
I’m going to say this again: I cannot recommend this podcast more highly. Quick bursts of reality inspired fiction and brief interviews with the authors to bring context and depth. Simply and wonderfully produced.”

“I LOVE this podcast so far. Such a creative idea. I would love if the podcasts were longer and included the entire interview (I know it’s available online). Can’t wait to hear more!”

“Chronicles of Now is one of the few things giving me any semblance of comfort amid the madness of news and uncertainty of the pandemic we're living through. Bravo to the folks behind it.”Read full review »

“I’m a little biased because I help make the Chronicles of Now site... but I really feel like these pieces are a balm—even more so when illuminated further by Ashley C. Ford’s delightful interviews.”

“Feel like it’s increasingly getting unhealthy to consume the news? This may be the only way to do it. Part Inside the (Author’s) Studio, part snack-sized audiobook, it’s all art and is the only thing that makes this stranger-than-fiction reality we’re in maybe make sense.”

“I may be biased as a Jess Walters fan but I found The Ponz to be satire at its best! A must listen!! I’ve been a regular reader of Chronicles of Now since it launched.
