I’ve started iisting to podcasts and audio recordings of stories.  A bit slack of me, I know, given the way in which webzines hosting podcasts and so on have been proliferating over the past couple of years (and given that one of my stories was recorded for Pseudopod last year).  But with my crazy schedule at the moment, I’m not getting a lot of time to read, so I’ve been trying to come up another way of getting my reading in without sacrificing other stuff (notably exercise, given the correlation between a sedentary day job and a butt with the potential to exponentially increase its girth).  So I went a bit nuts the other day on Escapepod, Pseudopod, and Podcastle, and have been listening to all sorts of stuff I wouldn’t have otherwise got to read whilst walking back from work and so on.  It’s definitely strange listening to some of the stronger American accents, but it adds an interesting new dimension to the stories, certainly.
