Wait a minute? What? Starship Sofa? I thought I was banned on their campus. After all, they once had Security escort me out, and added insult to injury by using their fattest, least-intimidating security guards (one used a solar-powered electric wheelchair).
I suppose I have Gary Dowell (late of Far-Fetched Fables) to thank for this dubious honor. Guess it's like when one of the SNL cast members Lorne fires becomes famous and he has them come host the show,* only not, since I'm far less famous now than I was when I last "appeared" on SSS.
Anyway, I can heartily recommend the short story, though I admittedly have a bias. One of the main characters hails from the sunken city of R'lyeh** (from ye olde Cthulhu Mythos), and I decided to give him an accent . . . which was more fun than anything else in the story.
The performance was actually a lot harder than most of the stories I do for podcasts. But if they were all easy, I guess I would never get better.

**Hoo boy, it was no fun to figure out how to say that word, or worse, the language R'lyehian. Luckily, my boy Norm Sherman used it in a song, so I appropriated that pronunciation. Thanks, Norm.
