Ah yes. Thanks, Sue. THE MISSION has received less media attention than it deserves, because the subject is politically volatile. Terrific book, and my fourth with author Tim Weiner, the ultimate researcher by interview. www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read...

@isabel.kim, Thanks for your wonderful "Human Voices." @lightspeedmagazine.com's author spotlight was fascinating and gave background on the potential power of a voice. (BTW, I also found "deep ennui" on the one cruise ship I was ever on.) And bravo to @stefansecho.bsky.social's amazing performance.

Thanks Glenn. This "story" has become one of my instant favorites. Special format and all.

Just last night, this song by John Denver popped up on my playlist. Seems terribly appropriate today. Enjoy. www.google.com/search?q=Iwa...

I have listened to that one as well. I usually listen to Ender's Game at least once a year. It is one of my favorites and quite possibly my favorite book of all time.

By all means, go for it. I guarantee it'll sound different to you. New revelations. Or...go for ENDER'S GAME ALIVE, OSC's dramatic adaptation of the events surrounding ENDER'S GAME. With an even bigger cast. Plus sound effects and original music, and a whole bunch of other features.

A few years back I had the pleasure and the honor of directing Diane Keaton reading Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem. At a studio in Santa Monica. Sweet lady. She did a wonderful job. Wish I could promote her performance, but that version has disappeared. I'll miss her.

Thanks for the referral. But it should be noted that this is a multi-cast production, and there are a few other narrators involved. They are ALL terrific.

Thanks, Lonna for placing us in such great company.

Thank you!

Fascist occultism goes viral in Manish Melwani’s spine-chilling masterwork, MAMMOTH (@nightmare-magazine.com, hauntingly delivered by @stefansecho.bsky.social). It creeps from the shadows; inexorable as history, foreboding as myth If you haven’t read it yet, you will. #sff #horror #shortstories

See y'all there folks.

Looking forward to hearing @stefansecho.bsky.social again!

One of my fave #book podcasts is Australian: The Bookshelf. I've gotten some extraordinary fiction recs from hosts Cassie McCullagh+Dr. Kate Evans. I've never forgotten The Signal Line (B.Colley) or The Kingdoms (N.Pulley). Good to hear abt bks from elsewhere. #BookSky www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Such a beautiful story by @carrievaughnco.bsky.social. I feel calm and refreshed and pleased. It's truly magical. Find a quiet place and let @susanhanfield.bsky.social tell you the tale. @stefansecho.bsky.social www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/a-we...

Agreed! I know Roxanne would love to see your comments, and I'm just trying to adjust to her current social media, since she doesn't seem to be represented on bsky.

Agreed.

What a great story! Anyone who's been to conferences (which I have) couldn't help but laugh (which I did). All the pieces were perfect, and I hope that someone can also compliment Roxanne Hernandez for both her dry delivery + her clueless jerk one. Thx very much! @stefansecho.bsky.social

Sounds like your doppelganger! Thanks so much for humoring my query. I owned that record when I was a kid but I don't know where it is now.

Sorry Cynthia. This guy is good, but it's not me. I couldn't find a narrator credit. Is it pirated? So much audio on YouTube is.

Thanks, Meg. I love this story! As I do most of your writing. Thank you.

I love this story! But, Cynthia, I need some context on Hansel and Gretel.

I believe that many will. And, alas, others won't. The story means a lot to me too.

Such a great behind-the-scenes look from one of the characters in the famous story! And yes, @stefansecho.bsky.social is exactly the guy for this one. (Personal bonus: I saw Sir Patrick's one-man show. 😊) Thanks for your wonderful tale!

Thank you, Sue.

that’s @stefansecho.bsky.social, folks. Amazing work.

I like to think that art begets art. Thank you, Meg.

Thanks, Meg. I'd like to think that art begets art.

Thanks for the kind words, and the fanfare. And for writing this important story in the first place.

Either that. Or spacytradi. Or even mellotradi. I'm sure you one could come up with many others.

Oh, this is great. Actually, I love the black and white ... I am sharing with the voice actor who does Albrecht, Stefan Rudnicki. @stefansecho.bsky.social

Please do not color it!

Nice selection. They are all faves of mine. Thank you Frank.

Oh, wow! I am going to share this post with Stefan. He'll be thrilled. Although, he'll be very nuanced and restrained about it. LOLOLOL. @stefansecho.bsky.social

I'm sure my partner, Stefan, will love seeing your complimentary post! @stefansecho.bsky.social Thank you for the kind words!

It's actually Tiptree. AKA Alice Bradley Sheldon. Brilliant writer and story.

Thank you, Zenith!

Friends. I get by with a little help from...them.

As a lifelong Star Trek fan, this is surreal. Listen to actual Wil Wheaton narrate my short story The God of Minor Troubles on Season 1 of his new story podcast! open.spotify.com/episode/60Eq...

Thanks, Arturo. I took this story on as a challenge, but it evolved into fun. As so much of Gene’s tends to do. Truly brilliant writing by @genedoucette.bsky.social.

Thank you, Sue. I should have realized that you'd already listened to @genedoucette.bsky,s wonderful novels.

Anyone intrigued by Gene Doucette's writing should check out TWO SUNS AT SUNSET, the first book book in the Tandemstar trilogy, featuring narration by Gabrielle De Cuir, Paul Boehmer and myself. Produced and published by Skyboat Media.

A great story on many levels, with the marvelous @stefansecho.bsky.social adding the icing on the cake.

Highly recommend you subscribe - stories are engaging, and Wil's narration/reading of them is perfection!

@wilwheaton.net, I just listened to the most recent story on It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton, and want to tell you: 1) The first sentence in your intro really resonated, and 2) Thank you for not altering your voice with female characters. Makes you one of the best readers/narrators.

Wil is stunning. I've had the honor of working with him for many years on his audiobooks, and now the podcast. Wil does "character" with his lady voices. Therefore doesn't squeak around trying to make girly sounds. He's the best. My man @stefansecho.bsky.social is also the best ... lol. #audiobooks

Whooo - go follow Stefan and get books narrated by him, such a talent ☺️

Thanks so much, Elmtree.
