Best Sci-Fi magazine out there in any form

Edit 2024: it’s still so amazing. It’s the best podcast out there. I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t know about it. Edit 11/2021: starShipSofa is still the best fiction podcast in existence. I’m incredibly grateful to Tony . I love this show so much. I'm trying to even think of positive criticism...and I can't. Tony is the absolute BEST and does a great job hosting. Find the episode where he gets his super Scottish dad to narrate the fiction. I listened a few weeks ago? And I'm STILL laughing my butt off. It's just so good.
Amazing sci-if podcast.

Really, the stories are great, the narrators are always top notch and I even appreciate the commentary about new shows. Definitely recomend.
Good just needs to curtail the most tiresome parts.

The stories are generally good but too much time before and after with other things. You have to respect how many episodes they have done but likable narrator has gotten a bit odder over time. Song is fun but how many times can one stand it before and after each episode. Bottom line — a good show in need of a facelift. Much respect overall though.
Top Notch Story and Narration.

HellScraper by Chris R Young was wonderfully paced and well written, I loved it! Mike Boris the narrator done an amazing job of bringing the pages alive. His recording was professional and was of the highest quality. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode (#688)!!!
