Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine February 2006 CoverI’m holding in my hands, right now, the February 2006 treeware issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. It’s just so damn cool!

The Feb 2006 “On The Net” column by James Patrick Kelly (pages 13 to 16) are all about what we all love – ‘Science Fiction and Fantasy Audiobooks, Online Audio and Podcasting’! About the experience of audiobooks, what listening to them is like, what is available and where to find it all. JPK talks about the revolution that is Audible.com, then gushes over Escape Pod, Tell Tale Weekly and Seeing Ear Theater as well he mentions our own humble website, something he considers “the best audiobook resource on the web!!!*”

w00t! Seeing our names in Asimov’s is way-waycool. We are immortal now. Thanks JPK and thank you SFFaudio readers, 2006 is going to be our best year yet!

*exclamation points added by me, for effect.

James Patrick Kelly, has just released two more FREE READS! These are science fiction and fantasy short stories read by Kelly himself . As with the previous 10 stories released, these are top shelf downloadable MP3s. Jim also tells us that his FREE READS recordings will be showing up more and more on Fictionwise.com – where they’ll feature new introductions by him (which will certainly offset the fact they aint 100% FREE there). Of course if you listen to a FREE READ, enjoy it and then don’t send Kelly a PayPal donation the guilt will be crushing.

This week’s releases are:

Bierhorst, R. G., Seera, B. L. and Jannifer, R. P. ‘Proof of the Existence of God and an Afterlife.’ Journal of Experimental Psychology. Volume 95, Spring, 2007, pages 32-36.
