In my busy hours while performing mundane tasks, I like to put on headphones and listen to large clusters of words spoken, on whatever portable device I have that allows. This is best when these tell of someone else’s world and interesting situation contained within. With the right voice and matching voice, I find myself deeply involved with the good story. Even better, I would like to share some of these findings.
So, enjoy some free audio science fiction, fantasy, horror fiction from various podcasts I follow. Today, I present three, selected by me (Orion T), recently put online on the last few months.
To play each one, simply click on the title of each entry. I suggest you save them into whatever portable device you may have, with a good set of headphones. Links to more on the podcast, writer and speaker, text and extra info follow…
