Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast episode 318.

The Drabblecast is a weekly audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by strange authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

Well, it's sad to say, but it's the final week of our annual Women and Aliens Appreciation Month here on the treblecast.

Oh, our annual celebration of talented women writers doing amazing things in science fiction doesn't have to end with this week's story though.

We've got two other great women and alien stories by authors Karen Tidbeck and Mary Robinette Coo

up on Drabblecast B sides which is our totally rockin feed of monthly

bonus content that feed of additional bonus, not to mention the entire backlog of over 40 episodes,

is available to listeners who like what we do here at the Drabblecast enough to donate and help us keep going,

by subscribing to an automatic $10 a month.

There's a special place in heaven for you people out there who donate to independent

creative media enterprises like the Drapylcast.

And the toilet paper there has more soft, moisturized layers

than your sweet ass probably knows what to do with.

God damn.

Hey, sorry, but it's like you's in a sock.

In my father's house, there are many plies.

So needless to say, if you're feigned in for more aliens this month, this doesn't have to be the last stop.

Sign up, help us out, get you some more stories on the double.

It is, however, the concluding week for the Drapylcast People's Choice Awards.

That's right.

The results are in, folks.
