SciFi Smackdown, the latest podcast spinoff of Slice Of SciFi, has show #1 up and ready for your geek edumusement. Listeners to SFSD are invited to send in voicemail, email, and “telepathic mojo” t the show’s hosts. You can feed them ammunition on the topic of which, of any two given Sci-Fi icons, would win in a deathmatch. Think of it as a Jack Mangan’s Duel Of The Fates but done with the technical manuals.
The first match-up, the one that spawned the SFSD podcast:

Broken Sea Audio, has now gone live with their Planet Of The Apes audio drama (the one I was spreading rumours about). It looks like a number of other exciting sounding projects in progress too! Broken Sea is another umbrella audio group like Pendant Productions and Darker Projects. That’s a good thing. I listened to the first part of their Planet Of The Apes show and am very interested to see where it is going to go. You can get in on the action by clicking on over to the main site (which seemingly has new features being added by the hour). I’ve also had the chance to listen to the first instalment of their Grog & Gryphon show. Which is a “sword and sorcery fantasy in the tradition of Conan the Barbarian and Lord of the Rings.” Vampires, Amazons, Goblins with attitude, werewolves, ghosts, heroes and evil forces of the dark permeate this tale of high fantasy….
In a distant kingdom, a ragged group of adventurers are forced together to fight a forgotten prophecy of evil. The thread unifying these diverse warriors and mystics- the Grog and Gryphon tavern…Written and Produced by Broken Sea big-wig Bill Hollweg.
Here’s the podcast feed for Grog & Gryphon:

Listen out for more Broken Sea audio soon, I think it will be sounding good!
Neil Gaiman has announced that there is an unabridged reading of his novel Neverwhere set for release this fall! Gaiman writes:
“Yup. I recorded it already. The existence of the extremely abridged version of Neverwhere with the astoundingly truncated ending has always irked me, despite the Brian Eno music and the really solid Gary Bakewell reading, but the license for it has now expired, and I am happy to say that it will vanish from the world.
The new version will be out later this year, probably in the Autumn. I actually recorded it from the ‘author’s preferred text’ version, so it’s the longest version of the text. I loved recording the audiobook, and doing all the voices, and found myself remembering how much I liked all those people, and wanting to write The Seven Sisters all over again.”
CBC Radio One audio dramatist Joe Mahoney sez:
“Canadia will begin airing April 20th.”
Canadia is a Science Fiction/Comedy series taking over the time-slot for the very popular Afghanada (which is another in-house CBC Radio dramatic series – following a fictional squad of Canadian soldiers fighting in Afghanistan). Not many details on Canadia can be found at this time. But well keep you apprised.
