Wow. I just listened to
something truly awesome. Check out the
400th episode of Escape Pod, the science fiction podcast magazine. For this landmark episode the Escape Artists crew serve up a full-cast performance of a classic SF short story — the very first story sold by my all-time favourite SF author,
Arthur C. Clarke. "Rescue Party" was written in 1946, and bears the hallmarks that identify Clarke as the visionary he was later to be acknowledged as.

Clarke is a hero of mine. See

Disclosure: I've narrated stories for Escape Pod myself in the past. Here's
one of my favourites, done for an earlier milestone in the podcast's illustrious history:
