The entire time, I couldn't wait for it to end. It simply seemed like the autobiography of Herman the Baby from 'Who Shot Roger Rabbit". I hate that damn baby :P</p> I just couldn’t get into this one. The entire time, I couldn’t wait for it to end.

I'm not sure why it is, but there is a long tradition of excellent SF shorts about pregnancy and the babies. I'm thinking of Sturgeon's Brat and Baby Is Three here, or also The Midwich Cuckoos, It's A Good life and almost everything by Richard Matheson that doesn't involve the apocalypse. This one is an excellent addition to the theme, I really like the way Canfield works it, and I have to say Evo is one of the best narrators you've got here. His voice is just the right mixture of unobtrusive and evocative. The stylistic choice in making it a podcast also works really well on EP. Meaning it fades more into the background, I have to admit i often stop listening to EP's if I find the voice too distracting, but Evo is great. Excellent work. This one was great.

Evo's got a great voice, and I think it went well with this story. Knowing enough about Evo, I think we can all identify him with the wise-cracking baby character. Not bad at all.
