Episode 129: Boxed by Will McIntosh

Posted in Science Fiction, Short Story, Will McIntosh on May 30, 2012 by dunesteef

Metta screwed up, and now she’s been boxed – sentenced to spend 57 years with her consciousness separated from her body in a neural retainer. It’s awful. Worse than anything she’s ever experienced. There must be some way out of this, right?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about being boxed, Demolition Man, and other stellar Will McIntosh stories like “Bridesicle” and “Midnight Blue.”

Special thanks to R.E. Chambliss for producing today’s story, also to Bryan Lincoln, Christopher Munroe, Eric Kenny, Sgzhanke S. Carlo, The Tie-Dye Flipster, and R.E. Chambliss for lending their voices to today’s episode.

Episode 127: The Last Words Of Daniel Shupak by Erich William Bergmeier

Posted in Drama, Erich William Bergmeier, Science Fiction, Short Story on March 31, 2012 by dunesteef

Erich William Bergmeier invites you to a dinner party at the Shupak house. The occasion? The end of all life on Earth, of course. Be warned: unlike most end-of-the-world stories, this one’s a bit of a downer. outtakes

Afterward, Big and Rish talk briefly about the impending apocalypse. I sure hope they remember to thank Clay Dugger for producing this story.

An AI has turned rogue, and will stop at nothing to achieve its goal, including murdering a child or even a Plague Bird! Find out what happens next in the thrilling conclusion…
outtakes
Also Big and Rish forget what time of year it is, and rather talk green beer and leprechauns, they spend the episode giving thanks.

Episode 125: The Ever-Dreaming Verdict Of Plagues (Part 1) by Jason Sanford

Posted in Action, Jason Sanford, Novelette, Science Fiction on February 27, 2012 by dunesteef

In a sequel to his story “Plague Birds” that appeared on the Dunesteef on episode 92, Jason Sanford tells the story of Plague Bird Christina de Ane’s further adventures in the future earth that has been driven toward the brink of insanity by gene manipulation. She arrives in a new village, where the Alderman’s son has been brutally murdered, and is duty bound to dispense justice. But something just doesn’t seem right…outtakes

Also, Big and Rish talk about how much better The Dark Knight is than its predecessor Batman Begins. They also talk about how much better Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan is than its predecessor Star Trek: The Motion Picture. And that’s before the story even begins. You’d think we were in for a long show, but surprisingly, they reign it in after the story ends. You may not be searching for a way to deafen yourself by the end of the show after all.

Special thanks to Bryan Lincoln for producing today’s story, to L. “Scribe” Harris, Veronica Belmont, Paul Kuhr, James David Jackson, and Bryan Lincoln for lending their voices to today’s episode, and to Melissa Hills and Atom Jarvis for today’s episode art.

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.
