The 10th Anniversary of Podcastle is coming up soon!
As part of the celebration, we're going to have a countdown of our most beloved episodes over the years. But first we need you to tell us which of our stories is most beloved by you!
We’re asking fans forum members to fill out the very quick survey (linked below). In the form, please list up to five of your favorite-ever PodCastle episodes. These nominations will be used to create a “Best of PodCastle” ballot so everyone can vote for their favorites in the final round, starting on February 14th. The top five PodCastle episodes, as voted by fans, will be featured in a special later this year!
You can find the survey here (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5RP7J3J). Nominations will close at 11:59 p.m. PST on February 13. What are you waiting for? Get nominating!

Well hopefully it isn't just us three that have voted because that would make it one vote each for 15 stories. I didn't have as much difficulty as Tango because I prefer plot based stories - and as Podcastle is a coming of age/character development kind of place that cuts the numbers down a lot. In chronological order I went for:
88 Another End of Empire
Light hearted and with a subtle twist. Tim Pratt does this kind of thing well and I think this is my favourite of his.
166 Stereogram of the Gray Fort...
A lovely mix of hazy nostalgia for past glories and the more brutal realities of the present
186 Beyond the Sea Gate...
Sometimes you want an thought provoking tale and sometimes you just want to listen to the audio podcast equivalent of the Tales of Sinbad
200 In the Stacks
Many might say that with so many readers this is more drama than podcast but it was on PodCastle so I'm having it
262 Dragonslayer of Merebaston
I like Jeter's way of combining the mundane and fantastic. In this case what do you do about a dragon in a world where the nearest thing to anti-tank weaponry is a crossbow.

I voted, I just didn't post here. Mine has a strong (but not complete) overlap with the "PodCastle stories for PseudoPod listeners" thread.
