A Strange Listener

The Drabblecast was one of the first podcasts for us weirdos. The experience shows - Uncle Norm knows what he's doing. The stories are usually awesome, and if one doesn't tickle your fancy (you'd likely be wrong but...) you have a huge back catalogue to choose from for one that's more your taste.

This is a short story podcast with short short stories called drabbles (Only and exactly 100 words) and your normal short story which are voiced by an selection of voice actors and podcasters. The shorts are from all over the genre map so something for everyone.

A word or two of warning though don't decide you like or don't like this with just one episode you have to sample a few before making the judgment because the stories can be strange and are for strange listeners and it may take a few before your turned in to a strange listener.

Drabbleicious

The strange, wierd, creepy, moving, and hilarious - can all be found here. Norm Sherman selects a wide range of entertaining short stories, and then does a simply wonderful job on the production qualities. With music, sound effects, and fantastic narration. The other highlight of this podcast is Norms all too infrequent songs - my favourite to date "Pimping the Hubble Telescope". Can't say enough good things about the Drabblecast.
