Episode 124: The Question by Robert Lowell Russell

Posted in Comedy, Robert Lowell Russell, Romance, Science Fiction, Short Story on February 14, 2012 by dunesteef

Is this our Valentine’s Day episode, or another anti-Valentine’s show? You be the judge.

It’s the question on everybody’s minds, as soon as they hear about fully-functional, human-like robots. And though you wouldn’t know it from listening to Rish Outfield, this story was not written by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Afterward, very little gets said about robot sex, but there is a little more spoken about human relationships, and a couple of stories about inspiration are swapped. If you’re that guy who complained about platitudes, though, you will find nothing of worth here, so move along.

Special thanks to Kim Price, Julie Hoverson, Bryan Lincoln, Marshal Latham, Amory Lowe, Joe Zieja, Josh Roseman, Damon Shaw, Amanda Crum, Clay Dugger, and Scott Pigg for lending their voices to today’s episode.

Episode 122: Rain by Abby Manheim

Posted in Abby Manheim, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Short Story on January 12, 2012 by dunesteef

When Rain was born, he was different from others, he was colicky for one, and babies weren’t colicky anymore. Not since before. But things were about to change…outtakes

Also, Rish and Big talk utopias, dystopias, and the story potential of such concepts.

Special thanks to R.E. Chambliss for producing and narrating today’s story; Heather Roulo, The Tie Dye Flipster, and Sgzhanke S. Carlo for lending their voices to today’s episode; and Lisa Wilde for providing the episode art.

Posted in Science Fiction, Scott Westerfeld, Short Story on December 21, 2011 by dunesteef

All that stands in a young man’s way of getting on a colony ship bound for a new world and a better life is a few grams of extra weight, and Charlotte, of course. outtakes

Episode 110: Dark Detour by Lance Young

Posted in Horror, Lance Young, Science Fiction, Short Story on August 30, 2011 by dunesteef

“Don’t touch it! It’s evil!”

For the captain and crew of the Nomad, the derelict spacecraft looks like a great opportunity for salvage. But their little detour may end up costing them a lot more than time or money.
Outtakes
Also, Big and Rish talk afterward. Novel, I know. Rish has been inspired by filmmaker Kevin Smith, and maybe they can get Announcer Man to participate in the show today.

Special thanks to Bryan Lincoln for producing today’s story and to Philippa Ballantine, Ray Saltrelli, Ayoub Khote, and Liz Lincoln for lending their voices to the episode.

What would Rish Outfield give for a Parsec Award nomination? Would he give…his soul? outtakes

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about their separate vacations, including a San Diego Comic-Con that made Rish–almost quite literally–old.

Episode 107: Must Have Own Weapons by Edward McKeown

Posted in Action, Adventure, Edward McKeown, Science Fiction, Short Story on July 24, 2011 by dunesteef

When the wombat comes, he’ll find me gone.
Outtakes
Dan Coulter has lost his girlfriend, and cannot find anything to look forward to in life any further. He’s considering putting an end to it once and for all. At that moment, with gun in hand, he sees a rather unusual want ad. The only caveat? Whoever responds to this ad must be able to bring their own weapons. Well, at least Dan can fill that part of the ad, right?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about Neanderthal accents, the BBC series “Doctor Who,” as well as waxing poetic about time travel once again.

Special thanks to Marshal Latham for producing today’s story, and Julie Hoverson for lending her voice to today’s episode.
