I want to put in my vote for more Jason Sanford/Plague Bird stories. They rock.

The two Plague Bird stories are fantastic, cannot wait for the next one.

I, too have enjoyed all of the Jason Sandord stories on Dunesteef and definitely would like to hear a whole saga of the plague bird stories.
I need to go through the StarShipSofa archives to find the “Trees” story that Big and Rish did, too.

The characters, engaging. The universe, compelling. I would be thoroughly interested in reading more about it.
The early parts of the first episode had me worried. The production at times fell to the trap of “narrator describes an event – narrator pauses, a sound effect describing the event is heard – narrator continues to describe another event – pause in narration for another sound effect”. That is jarring, and I really was about to quit listening. Fortunately I continued; the story took me with it and the production style either slipped to something more to my tastes or I just was not noticing it any more.
