ankh_hpl StarShipSofa has long been one of my favorite podcasts -- an essential if you love SF -- but last week's episode No. 249 is a don't miss for at least two reasons.
1) An intriguing Kim Stanley Robinson tale, "The Timpanist of the Berlin Philharmonic, 1942." This elegant dark story is only marginally fantastic, but the narration by Diane Severson![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
divadiane1 is wonderful. Her intimate knowledge of classical music & its performance makes all the difference.
2) Amy H. Sturgis'seldritchhobbit monthly "Looking Back at Genre History" segment -- a Ray Bradbury tribute with a difference. Rather than a general overview of Bradbury's work, she offers personal insights on two of her favorite stories: "The Veldt" & "Usher II." I've definitely put both of these on my To Reread list.
At a little over an hour, this episode of StarShipSofa is worth every minute spent listening. As usual, you can stream it here, or download it on iTunes.
