Sorry for not posting the thread sooner - I had some problems with my podcatcher's notifications, so I didn't notice that the metacast dropped until today.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Nathan for all his work with Escape Pod - I was a slush reader for approximately two years with him in charge, until life sort of became too busy for me to sustain that. I know first hand how hard he worked to make sure that the best stories were selected, and how generally great he was to work with. The assistant editor is not as visible a position to the audience as the main editors as hosts, but from my point of view, Nathan choosing to move on marks the end of a great era of Escape Pod. Of course, I have a lot of faith that Divya taking over the position means the beginning on a new great era
