As podcasting takes off, there's more and more excellent content available on the web. Here's a new one read by Mary Robinette Kowal.


Subterranean Magazine's move to an online format continues to take advantage of the web to do things it couldn't in print, such as serializing stories. Now they've released a podcast of Kage Baker's short novel, RUDE MECHANICALS, read by Mary Robinette Kowal.

RUDE MECHANICALS continues Baker's series relating the adventures of the time-traveling cyborgs of Dr. Zeus, this time in 1934. Temporarily relocated to the environs of the Hollywood Bowl, German theater impresario Max Reinhardt attempts to stage his famous production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The inevitable complications ensue, and Kowal does a wonderful job of conveying Baker's prose.
