Audio SF and more

Escape Pod has a new episode of SF audio out featuring "Pervert" by Charles Coleman Finlay, read by Stephen Eley. Originally in Fantasy and Science Fiction, March 2004

"When the bus reaches the corner, they climb onboard, taking seats on their side and evening out the ride so it doesn’t feel so much like we’ll tip over.

The sun already pelts down mercilessly and they will have to leave off working soon."

Did he think she was such a dolt she wouldn’t notice? She came out here regularly to do laundry.
