Three good reads. However, I ended up voting for Dave Thompson. Not because I did not like the other narrators, but because I thought the narration really made that story work. I could in many ways feel the connection between the two main characters through the narration. I do not think I would have liked the story as much as I did if I was just reading it in print.
The only problem working against Dave and I know it is going to come up even though I probably shouldnt be the one to bring it up since I do not care, but people are going to shy away from devour because of the whole "it should have been on pseudopod" arguement.
I think overall escapepod (and escape artists in general) does a great job at picking people to narrate stories. They try to find people who match the stories they are reading. One gripe I have about some other podcasts (which will remain nameless) is that they only use a handful of narrators and those people, while they do their best, are not always the right fit for the story. It is probably easier to use a fewer number of voices throughout the year, but I appreciate the diversity.
