I throw the gauntlet down to Peter Sagal of NPR's Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me. I co-narrated with Shaun Farrell the fabulous story from Clarkesworld, Rolling Steel: A Pre-Apocalyptic Love Story written by Jay Lake and Shannon Page. (Link directly to MP3, for when the story slides off the front page.) I contributed to the latest Radio Isopod, the fabulous mad-scientist/submarine podcast. Last week's Kill (the) Feed video podcast was filmed on location at my house and featured me, Jim, and visiting friend John Cmar. This week's Kill (the) Feed features a commercial from me and Devo Spice promoting Matt Wallace's The Next Fix on Kindle. Kill (the) Feed is NSFW,  mainly for language.I think that be it!
