EP388 Trixie and the Pandas of Dread by Eugie Foster read by Mur Lafferty
This was fun, and:
EP412 Thirty Seconds From Now by John Chu read by Joel Kenyon
Most original presentation of a carpe diem theme.
EP426 "Flash Fiction Special Four Tickets Life Sentence The Future Is Set" by "Leslianne Wilder, Ben Hallert, and C L Perria" read by "Nathan Lee, Angela Lee, and Norm Sherman"
"The Future is Set" is one of the tightest and hardest hitting stories on the podcast this year.

EP423 Arena by Fredric Brown read by Bill Bowman
Because awesome classics rule!

This one was my second choice for presentation of a carpe diem theme.
