Not quite a book......

This wasn't a book ... but it feels like a book - "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," that is.

This is a fun 10-part serial - originally podcast, and now being broadcast on KFAI (where I heard about it - of course I downloaded it and listened to it all). I don't know if there are plans to follow up with a sequel (I hope!) but this is full of lots of fun.

The bonus is that this full-cast drama includes all kinds of authors and podcasters as participants. That makes it kind of a hook into other interesting audio fiction.

Speaking of which, it lead me to "podiobooks.com," which is an interesting (and FREE) hub of a new kind of publishing. Authors who produce - and read - their books. Some go to print - either on demand printing, or in some cases (Scott Sigler) this has lead to "real" book contracts. I'm currently listening to "The Communion of the Saint," and "Quarter Share" - lots of good stuff. So good that I suspect I'll be making some kind of contribution .....
