I don’t know what Eekhount snorts but it is definitely not illegal or expensive on his planet.

I think Anna's narration perfectly suits the subject matter and makes it really engaging. Last night I played it to my five year old son and his mother in the car on our way home after visiting the grandparents: they both loved it. That is a glowing tribute from my SF apathetic partner! Keep up the great work. I’ve just finished working my way through the whole Escape Pod back catalogue and I have to say this story and its narration is a clear highlight for me.

I find that with some of these stories a key word becomes so promminent that it keeps standing out from the rhythm of the story... It might be in the enunciation, but I think it's more likely that its because it's got lots of sylables. In this case I had trouble with "Head Noodles", like I had a problem with "Little Worker" in Little Worker. I'm not sure what can be done about this, but I suggest paying attention for over-repeated phrases in Escape Pod submissions, it matters more here than in prose. Really liked this story tho. Hmm..

Its only right that I should say she did a good job with this one. After saying that I did not think Anna Eley was right for Mur Lafferty’s story.
