“Eric was night, and Batu was day. The girl, Charley, was the moon. Every night, she drove past the All-Night in her long, noisy, green Chevy, a dog hanging out the passenger window. It wasn’t ever the same dog, although they all had the same blissful expression. They were doomed, but they didn’t know it.”

Yep, there’s a lot to choose from, that’s for sure.

I think Stone Animals or Some Zombie Contingency Plans would be great choices.

Thanks, Jim. It was really fun to do. She is a fantastic writer. I may in fact do another story from Magic for Beginners at some point, but I haven’t decided which one yet. And if she puts anything else out on Creative Commons License, I’ll definitely consider that, too.

Hi Karen, I’m honored to have “popped your podcast cherry” as it were.
There are a lot of great lines in the story, no doubt about it. Kelly Link is just an awesome writer. The pajamas thing will become clearer in Part 2.
As for the technical issues, it’s hard for me to say without knowing your specs. These audio files are large, though, so if you’re not on broadband, or have a lot of stuff running simultaneously that could be an issue. I’ll look into things on my end, though, to see if I can find anything there.
Thanks for listening, commenting, and for letting me know about the tech issues! I appreciate it.

Frank,
I am now no longer a podcast virgin. Surprisingly, you have no brooklyn accent, froglike or otherwise.
The things that hit me in no particular order:
she looked like she had set her favorite city on fire
why batu had so many pajamas
flannel with heads in baskets–that’s just wrong!
ugly little bed wetting dog
hated people in december just for practice
the maple syrup tins..they get a lot of canadians
the first sentence of to kill a mockingbird!
frothy meat drink
squeezable pork…insert obvious joke here
grape scented magic markers
you’re wearing my diary
my favorite part was when…
Canadian…not a zombie
comment? The podcast started oddly, then I had no pause or play button…then stopped abruptly…
hey….just like the first time I was a virgin…lol….no wait, I was serious about the technical issue…the other part just kind of naturally filled itself
