What should I listen to after Mind Webs?

September 22, 2016 6:18 AM

Subsequent to this post (thanks, Iridic!), I decided to give Mind Webs a try. This morning, I listened to the last episode. What now?

With the exception of maybe two or three episodes that were unlistenable due to poor sound quality, I have now listened to every extant episode of Mind Webs that the Internet Archive has to offer. The combination of classic Golden Age and New Wave science fiction short stories with Michael Hanson's soothing public radio voice was just the sort of thing I needed. But now it's done. What should I track down next?

Check out Escape Pod. The quality of the reading isn't as consistent, and the stories span a wide range of the SF genre, but if you pick and choose your episodes, you could find some winners. You might like Norm Sherman as a narrator.

A comment on your linked post lists a number of similar things on archive.org. I'm downloading Sci-Fi Radio, as well as MindWebs, as we speak. Also, I second Escape Pod, and additionally recommend StarShipSofa.

Response by poster: For what it's worth, I'm now going through an old archive of X Minus One.
