EP029: Crystal Balls (http://escapepod.org/2005/11/24/ep029-crystal-balls/)

Yeah, that’s it. Oh, that’s nice. You’ve got strong hands, Mister. Are you psychic? Maybe just a little? No? Well, I can fix that.

Naw, I can’t tell you where to find a bottle of Mad Dog, but I can get you the money to buy one.

Rated PG. Contains violence, immoral psychic paraphernalia, and grown women scrying.

I love all of Suzie Hawes' work and moreover, loved the narration of a scheming sleazy crystal ball.   Well worth a listen in the archives imo.

Definitely worth a listen, especially for the non-typical choice of having a Brooklyn accent attributed to a magical object.  I didn't really care that much about the plight of any of the characters, but the idea carried my interest through.
