Hey, everyone.
I've been a big fan of fantasy/scifi podcasts for the past years, as I needed something to listen to on long distance hikes. I fell in love with the Escape Artists products, as well as Drabblecast, Wormwood, Solar Clipper, and many others. For years, I used to tell arhurian legends at RenFaire, and wrote some stories of my own. Last year, the good folks at Made of Fail asked me to start podcasting.
The result was The Burnham Society Podcasts.
http://burnhamsociety.madeoffail.net/The premise of the Burnham Society is that the weird and supernatural is just another immigrant culture that makes up the rich landscape of chicago. The main podcasts are john-hodgman style explanations of Chicago's magical history (now with 25% facts!), with some recent Escape-artist style story podcasts. We've been up since January, and 11 episodes in, we'd love to see what people outside our 50 subscribes think.
Our best examples right now are:

If you like it, we're available on itunes as well.
My host, made of fail, has a ton of geek podcasts, and some great audiodramas. They're over at madeoffail.net
I hope you enjoy the show.
Rowan.
