A real "out there" podcast: Aliens You Will Meet

Online Audio

Podcast - Aliens You Will MeetPerhaps the strangest podcast I’ve ever listened to, Aliens You Will Meet is a 2nd person perspective guide to your future via a pre-cognitive meeting with an omniscient trip-planner, who will, like the The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, dispense crucial and bizarre information about… the aliens you will meet. The show, which is written by Jason Axelrod (an Escape Pod alumnus), feels like an extended writing exercise, funny and quite short – sometimes just a few words.

READ OUR REVIEW

From the back cover:
The first of the seven books set in the Liaden Universe tells a rich and sweeping story of warring families and star-crossed lovers in a fantastic, other-world galaxy. Master trader Er Thom knows the local custom of Liaden is to be matched with a proper bride, and provide his prominent clan Korval with an heir. Yet his heart is immersed in another universe, influenced by another culture, and lost to a woman not of his world. And to take a Terran wife such as scholar Anne Davis is to risk his honor and reputation. But when he discovers that their brief encounter years before has resulted in the birth of a child, even more is at stake than anyone imagined. Now, an interstellar scandal has erupted, a bitter war between two families-galaxies apart-has begun, and the only hope for Er Thom and Anne is a sacrifice neither is prepared to make…
