Author Chris Lester brings you serialized fiction in a futuristic fantasy world. Enter a gritty urban landscape of mages and vampires, faeries and telepaths, where street-level spies steal arcane artifacts from power-hungry sorcerers and holy warriors stalk demons through the shadowy depths of thousand-foot-high towers.
This feed contains two related podcast series. The Metamor City Podcast (2007-2011) features a full voice cast, sound effects and music, while The Raven and the Writing Desk (2015-present) is a more streamlined solo podcast with stories in the same universe. New episodes of The Raven and the Writing Desk are released weekly.
The Metamor City Podcast won the 2008 Podcast Peer Award for outstanding audio production, and was a two-time Parsec Award winner for excellence in speculative fiction: in 2009 for the novel Making the Cut and in 2010 for the novella Whispers in the Wood.

Customer Reviews
Great!!
Stated last week, on the last episode of making the cut!
⤴️ to 5 ⭐️
That was a few months ago. I upped my rating to 5 ⭐️ because one thing overrides my complaints: episodes keep coming. How many podcasters don't release the seasons they say they will?
-----The series is good and I do love the full cast productions (during an interstitial piece after "Making the Cut" a caller who "speaks for all" informed the writer we "just want the story". He forgot to ask me). Bare bones story telling is better than nothing, but …
Speaking of feedback, enormous amounts of each episode is given to feedback of previous episodes which ain't so great but made worse by dreadful audio, discussion of the writer's process, his personal experiences with other podcasters and podcasts, etc. Never once does he reveal during the outro of up to 8 minutes why he says "pellow" instead of "pillow".
On Overcast you can set to skip the intro or outro if you wish. There's no reason to skip an outro of excellent music but writing stats of unpredictable length are a different story.
A note for bea1701 who wrote this in the "review" spot:
"if you're not listening- YOU SHOULD BE!"
I hope you take a second look and ask why YOU should be telling people to listen. It's not a review if it's a demand.
Female characters exist to be objects
First episode in it is clear the writer only includes females to describe the physical attributes, feels so amateurish. If the phrase “She winked” at him were a drinking game you wold be pretty far gone in this episode. The narrator attempts at female flirtations voicing is painful and distracting to the story. I hope it improves as this has a long run, I am willing to give a few more episodes.
