I just listened to "Connecting Door" today; a couple of months ago I listened to "Civilized Monsters" and "That Old Black Magic". I searched out and downloaded all three stories after Geo mentioned on an old podcast (i'm working through his backlog) that he'd read for PP.
Seriously, he's the most kick-ass reader I've ever heard; I would probably subscribe to Pseudopod if he read more often.
For that matter, it would rule to have him read for EP or PC once in a while.
-
I'll second that.

I'm surprised you aren't already subscribed to Pseudopod.
But I agree, Hrab is good.

I just did ... the three stories read by Geo are not at all what I expected from a podcast advertising "disturbing" stories. I quite liked them, and since I sometimes get similar fare on Variant Frequencies, I figured I might as well just dive in.

Nobody's perfect ;)

One thing I love about PP is that there's a lot of variety for it being a horror podcast. If you want fun, I highly recommend you check out Episode 6 -- "What Dead People Are Supposed to Do." Weird, quirky fun.

Seconded. That one makes me giggle every time and the delivery on one word in particular is priceless:)

Which word?
-
'...SKYDIVING!'

Currently working my way through from the beginning and am in the middle of #3 "Little Boy Leg Bone". Impressions so far: Excellent premiere with Sigler's "Bag Man"; wasn't impressed with the flash piece "Waiting Up for Father" ...
... but the second flash piece, "Your Shoes", hit a nerve. It took my occasional musings/fantasies about "what if I woke up and found I'd become a woman" and turned them on their head in a nasty way. Of course, in my flights of fancy my body had simply become female, rather than my having body-switched with an actual person, but still ... the story's been sticking in my mind ever since listening to it last night at bedtime. I wonder how it might have been different had the protagonist's wife not been a rape victim ... but then, the story would not have been the one that I got and that has been haunting me all day. This is the kind of "disturbing" that I was led to expect from the 'cast's early press.

I personally AM over at PP also- but more George Hrab is always a good thing.

"AM" ? ???

sorry, heavy shift finger and a talent for mangling the English language.
I meant that- I had already discovered the wonders of the horror podcast. Although, now that I think on it, I'm a little jealous that you've got so many stories ahead of you while I spent last week in a state of anticipation.

Oh. I thought "AM" was an abbreviation or something, like "Ante-Moderate" or sumsuch.

Moving along ...
#3 "Little Boy Leg Bone" -- eh. Not bad, but not great either.
#4 "Returning my Sister's Face" -- loved it. But as I said in another thread, I'm predisposed to like fantasy stories set in feudal Japan.
#5 "Sacred Skin" -- nicely creepy.
#6 "What Dead people are Supposed to Do" ... bit of a letdown; I should have remembered that DKT said "fun", because this story struck me as too comedic to be in a horror podcast.
I'm still waiting for another one to disturb me like "Your Shoes" did.

Oh, and the flash "Devote Your Life to Beauty" didn't work for me at all. I just didn't get it. And #2 "Good Advice" was a decent bit of psycho-horror.

I'll be catching up on the PP and EP that I missed early next year. A little birdie told me that Zanta is sending us some Poddiscs.
