Title: I just found Escape Pod
Post by: CvilleDon on March 10, 2009, 02:55:27 AM

I just found Escape Pod last month.  And I've already downloaded all of it onto my iPod.


All I can say is:

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not just any chair, either.

Here's the downside. 

Sure you've got 187 episodes of EscapeyPoddyGoodness. 

You'll get all used having a seemingly never ending font of SF annointing your eardrums. 

Then.... You'll catch up...

And the week between posts will seem sooooo long.

I've toyed with the idea of kidnapping the Escape Artists and all the contributing authors (and any other authors I can lay my mits on)  stuffing them in a temporal bubble, and telling them not to come out til they have 10,000 pods in the can, but that seems like it might be slightly unreasonable.

Might be unreasonable, but could make for an interesting episode.   ;)

I had this problem.

Then I started listening to Podcastle and Psuedopod... Then I had the problem again.  So I picked up the Drabblecast.  And the Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me podcast.

And now I have the same problem again.  I'm always so excited when there are new episodes, but I always feel like ROAR NEED MORE CONTENT, heheheh.


But, seriously.  Welcome to Escape Pod, isn't it awesome?

OK, so now I've also got all of Dimension X, Pseudopod (and I didn't even think I liked horror) and Sofa SciFi (or somethiing like that).  And a bunch of NPR.

I can't believe people waste their ipods on music.

how do you have that many songs of one artist? how many damn songs do they have??!
i have pretty much every Doors song ever and that's only 2.5 gb...  my 3000+ songs are only 19 gb, so how do you have 1500 songs from one damn artist? that seems ridiculous.
