I've been listening for a few months and finally decided to delurk. I've found that there aren't a lot of stories I have neutral feelings about, so I look forward to getting involved in the intelligent debate I've seen in this forum!

Hello! Another new member dropping by to introduce herself - I'm lethean, a 25 year old Aussie who first started listening to Escape Pod after being drawn into the world of fiction podcasts by Variant Frequencies... and it wasn't too long after that, that PseudoPod stole my heart. I think they're using it as a paperweight or something. Either way, I'm looking forward to what more tales the Escape Artists bring us in 2013!

Good morning angels!

I've been a fan of Pseudopod and Escapepod for years as they've made my commutes safer mainly by keeping me awake. This is my "first time, long time" style post as I join these here forums so here we go.

Bio:
-I'm in my 30's
-I work in the Video Game industry
-I do a lot of pen and paper game design work which includes story structure design, character design, pacing work, and various other skills revolving around "make it fun for the participants or they're walking out of the room" style pressure
-I did a lot of writing while I was in college and am picking it back up so expect a bit of the old "I wrote this thing, what ya all think?" style posts

WELCOME!  I think your site looks familiar.  I might have gone snooping there when looking for various jobs in publishing :P

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

Hi, I've recently become addicted to Escape Pod and have loved sci-fi, fantasy and horror (especially in print form) my entire life.  I wanted to join the forum to discuss the stories and hopefully get some recommendations, as I'm always looking for something new to read.

As for my background, I'm 45, work as a computer programmer in Cleveland, Ohio.  I'm married with three kids and also started teaching myself guitar a few years ago.  I'm not sure if I'm a shitty teacher or a shitty student, but either way, I'm shitty.  But I love it.

Welcome.  You are still better than me, because I gave up on trying to learn guitar quite some time ago.

Hello All,

I'm new, but I've listened to Psuedopod for ages, so I figured it was time to join up (partly out of allegiance to the Pod, partly because no one I know also like horror fiction and I get lonelyt)

Anyway nice to meet you, anonymous mass of dexterous appendages and brains!

Hello.  While I've been listening religiously for years now a very awesome podcast has so intrigued me I had to create an account just to say I wish it could be.  And now I'm off to hunt down the escape pod thread for Connoisseurs of the Eccentric.

Howdy everybody, what with the contest going on, I figured it was high time I stopped lurking and start skulking around the forums with a little less anonymity.
