Here’s part two of the podcast of my story Home Again, Home Again, a sequel (of sorts) to Shadow of the Mothaship — also published in my collection A Place So Foreign and Eight More. This one is the autobiography of a child raised in an alien-imposed mental institution, and the mentorship he received from The Guy Who Thought He Was Nikola Tesla.

Podcast
My Podcast is a regular feed in which I read from one of my stories for a few minutes at least once a week, from whatever friend’s house, airport, hotel, conference, treaty negotiation or what-have-you that I’m currently at. Here’s the podcast feed.

Part three — the conclusion — of my podcast of my story Shadow of the Mothaship initially published in Amazing Stories magazine, Winter 2000, reprinted in A Place So Foreign and Eight More, Four Walls Eight Windows Press 2003. A strange, stylised Scientology/Alien-Invasion/Oedipus story.

Here’s part three of my podcast of Nimby and the D-Hoppers, a story that was originally published in Asimov’s in 2003 and reprinted in a Year’s Best, then translated into Russian, Chinese, French and Hebrew. Nimby is the story of a deep-green alternate future that is being invaded by gun-totin’ yahoos from alternate planes of reality.

Don’t get me wrong — I _like_ unspoiled wilderness. I _like_ my sky clear and blue and my city free of the thunder of cars and jackhammers. I’m no technocrat. But goddamit, who wouldn’t want a fully automatic, laser-guided, armor-piercing, self-replenishing personal sidearm?
Nice turn of phrase, huh? I finally memorized it one night, from one of the hoppers, as he stood in my bedroom, pointing his hand-cannon at another hopper, enumerating its many charms: “This is a laser-guided blah blah blah. Throw down your arms and lace your fingers behind your head, blah blah blah.” I’d heard the same dialog nearly every day that month, whenever the dimension-hoppers catapaulted into my home, shot it up, smashed my window, dived into the street, and chased one another through my poor little shtetl, wreaking havoc, maiming bystanders, and then gateing out to another poor dimension to carry on there.
Here’s the audio of my speech last month at Olin College, a small, elite engineering school outside of Boston. The students there were really sharp — some of the wisest and most incisive I’ve met, and the faculty I met with were very bright and inspiring indeed. Not to mention the totally awesome library and its equally awesome librarians, who run a 24/7 library that students admit themselves to with a swipe-card, and check their own books out of using a scanner. Plus: free photocopying!
Here’s part four of a four-part podcast of another story, “Return to Pleasure Island,” a dark and mean fantasy story that was originally published in Realms of Fantasy in 2000, and reprinted in my 2003 short story collection A Place So Foreign and Eight More.
My next podcast will commence in a few days: a three-part reading of Nimby and the Dimension-Hoppers.
