Hi everyone! This is my first post here in the forum. I've discovered Escape Pod last year, and I've been listening to EVERY single story in succession. Just finished episode 304! *whew* I'm halfway there!

I've avoided joining the forums until now because I didn't want any spoilers about what's been happening with the hosts. (Like what's been going on with Serah after I just heard Steve narrate Sidekicks in Stockholm.)

The thing is, I'm a big fan of Union Dues, and I tried to look up the 1800gounion website. The website is down, and it looks like episode 304 is the last Union Dues story on Escape pod. Also, I don't have access to Google, Facebook, or many other social media sites here in China, so I can't seem to find any updated info on Jeffrey R. Derego. Does anyone know what happened with him and the series? Is this it?

So, it'll be three rounds rather than four?

So cool to see this KEW classic on Pseudopod. I hope you folks will give Sticks a try someday too, as it's another great one from him.

This author tended to find odd facts about the real world, and some genuinely mysterious things, and derive horror from them. The ever encroaching kudzu can be vaguely creepy, but how to articulate that? Here was one fun approach to it.

[We have 191 stories]

Okay, folks. Final tallies are actually in this time, taking into account some withdrawals. Ignore my earlier count, I guess I was lying to you. That's what we do here at PseudoPod towers. Misdirection.

We have 191 stories in 12 different groups. 11 groups of 16, 1 group of 15.

Groups will be posted at 6PM EDT every 48 hours. So you can expect the first group to come live right around then today. (ETA: 18 hours)

I'm excited to be hosting another one of these and I'm thrilled to have so many entries! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. You all rock!

I live in Knoxville. While I was listening to this at work, I could look out my office window and see Grand Avenue. I drove down it a few days after hearing this one. Most of the old houses are gone, but the kudzu is alive and well.

Yes, the "hice" was right up my alley.

I often comment about how I enjoy stories about aliens that explore truly alien origins; this story felt like it came from the other direction. I wasn't even sure until about halfway through whether these people were supposed to be human.

But, oh, the pain of trying to make someone stop "helping" you when you aren't asking for it!

I loved the picture of a generational relationship in which the child is the one helping the parent through adversity.

It's just too much for me to manage without eyes *Throws up hands in defeat*

I feel for you - the regular Wikimedia is supposed to be compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, section 508, and allow for easier reading by text-readers and other assistive technologies. But the Wikia site seems to be focused on being more visual.

If you're familiar at all with the wiki markup language, you can edit the Source Editor version of each page, which doesn't use all of the fancy Java-scripting that breaks assistive interfaces... but does require you to know how many square brackets to use when you make a link.
