Would you like to know how to escape the imminent destruction of the Earth?
Sure, we all would.
And this site can help. Our specially-trained instructors can assist you in putting together your very own personal starship to get off this planet before its obliteration.
Rated PG. Contains a planet in peril, almost-helpful aliens, and a sociopathic football player. One or more of the three fail to come out on top.

I found this story hilarious and Paul’s British voice somehow worked for me. I’m hoping all aliens have a British accent(!)
Having two people read a story together was as far as I know a first on escape pod, but I wouldn’t mind hearing it more often.
This was a great story.

Thanks, Stijn! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s actually the second time we’ve done it — the first was back in October, with The Death Trap of Dr. Nefario — and I agree, it’s a lot of fun. We’ll try to do it as the stories warrant.

Remember, guys, we also had multiple readers for “Alien Animal Encounters,” back in December.
