2026 with SOULTRIAL! @stefansecho.bsky.social @bonuscommentary.bsky.social youtu.be/4SjoUuerhpI?...

@stefansecho.bsky.social, beautiful work on this story. @giftogab.bsky.social was certainly right when she said she'd listen to you read a grocery list [updated from "phone book" for obvious reasons]. Oh myyyyy. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-...

😂 @stefansecho.bsky.social

What a great story, sir! Two characters very different from one another + fun to read, and the 3rd, um, main character, who was SO great. (Happy to hear the info from the helpful customer service guy as well.) @stefansecho.bsky.social's reading was perfect but #3's rendition was just a riot!

Stefan, I and our crackerjack team Skyboat #audiobooks @skyboatmedia.bsky.social take tremendous pride in researching (and enforcing) pronunciations. Plus, Stefan is just a damn poetic genius and knows all these things from his dizzying academic and theatrical background. @stefansecho.bsky.social

Thank you for your support. We appreciate every single #audiobook you listen to; even if it's not one of ours. 😂 Libraries are HUGE supporters of our art, and we are very grateful that they pay us well to spread the "word." @skyboatmedia.bsky.social @stefansecho.bsky.social

Great thread, everyone! Thanks for addressing some of the serious issues related to narration.

If you're anywhere within a 2-3 hour drive, you should check this out. See ya!

Definitely one of my faves. Thanks, Dr. Sue.

Wonderful, multi-layered story. Great characters. Not for the faint of heart. (consider that a challenge!)

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.
