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

Special thanks to Rich Girardi for producing today’s story and lending his voice to the episode.

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.

Episode 103: The Voyage Of The Van Leeuwenhoek by John Medaille

Posted in John Medaille, Science Fiction, Short Story, Space Opera on May 24, 2011 by dunesteef

Life aboard the Van Leeuwenhoek spacecraft is tough. There’s pretty much constant war with the Venusians, not to mention the daily duties, subspace apparitions, and the difficulties with the Lunars. And then, there are the cockroaches.
Outtakes
Afterward, Big and Rish ask if this story is Space Opera. What is Space Opera? Does it involve singing? Is 2001 Space Opera? What about Alien? What are the subgenres of Science Fiction? Can Rish say what he thinks of the SyFy Channel without violating his sensitivity training?

Also, would R080T be better or worse if he had a different voice? Only several ways to know for sure.

Please excuse the audio problems on this show. It won’t happen again…at least, we don’t think it will.

Episode 100: The Battle Of Leila The Dog by Rick Kennett

Posted in Rick Kennett, Science Fiction, Short Story, Space Opera on April 25, 2011 by dunesteef


The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine marks one hundred over-long episodes with “The Battle of Leila the Dog” by Rick Kennett.

Cy De Gerch is being pestered by the sound of a whining dog…only dogs aren’t allowed on the bridge of a fighting space vessel in a war zone. What is going on?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about . . . oh no, not about dogs again. Ghost dogs! “Where the Red Fern Grows!” Corporal Liam Tasker! This can only end badly. And it looks like Rish Outfield has opened his big mouth one time too many.

Special thanks R.E. Chambliss, Rich Girardi, and Josh Roseman for lending their voices to today’s episode.

Here’s that Dunesteef Flyer that Big mentioned in the episode:
