Escape Pod Live From WorldCon 2018
We’re pleased to bring you a recording of Escape Pod’s live panel at WorldCon 2018 in San Jose earlier this year. The panel featured a variety of our staff and a live reading by Laura Pearlman, which will be run later this month as a standalone episode.
We had a great time at the panel and only regret that we can’t also share with you the delicious cake we enjoyed afterward!
