Sale! “Chrysalis” to Escape Pod

Yay!  I’ve been wanting to break into Escape Pod forever, because, man, do I love that podcast. 
Here’s a teaser of the opening

Chrysalis

People ask me if I ever get involved with the subjects of my documentaries. I have a difficult time imagining that they would ask my male colleagues the same question, but they seem to expect women to be more emotional. In response, I tend to grit my teeth and answer very patiently with another question. How could I do my job if I were part of the story? Only by maintaining a sacred distance could I have any hope of understanding someone’s life. A documentarian records, but does not participate.

That mantra was the only thing keeping me from gnawing my arm off with frustration while Geroth and Iliath had their latest spat. Iliath wanted Geroth to undergo Chrysalis. Geroth wanted to stave it off until he finished his mathematical treatise. Geroth and his betrothed brayed their points like sea-lions mating.

  1. I was just listening to a podcast interview about a movie of the same name, based on the Ray B. short).
    But what I wanted ask was…
    will you be reading it for escapepod? That would be so wonderful!

  2. Congratulations!

    I can understand mixed feelings about who reads it. It would be great for you to read, but there is something way cool about having someone else perform one’s words…

    Which reminds me of something I was going to ask you. I’ll email.
