Turns out this isn't even the best one. I like how characters and situations from previous episodes are referenced- but not always from the same point of view or attitude. I like continuity, and I also like different perspectives on the same events, so that's cool.</p> <p>I definitely want more.</p> This was the first Union Dues story I’d heard, and I liked it enough to go back and listen to the others.

My experience was pretty much the opposite of “Me”. It was well read, drew me into this otherwise fantastical universe and left me more than a little chilled. Good writing and a good choice of narrator – just what I’ve come to expect from Escape Pod.

Thanks

Can you suggest any other podcasts where they frequently read books rather than just talking about different subjects? I love listening to books/poems.

Keep up the amazing work. You’ve got a big new fan
