Hello and welcome to the Drapylcast, episode 358. The Drapolcast 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.

This week we bring you a double-headed special featuring author Rachel K Jones. Rachel lives in Athens, Georgia with her husband Jason,

where she's doing literacy research while pursuing a second degree in speech language

pathology.

She knows six languages and might consider forgetting them in exchange for a zooke

position at a dinosaur park.

That'll make sense later.

Oh, she's also the new co-editor of Podcastle, which is pretty rad.

The two stories of hers that we're featuring are Ten Wretched Things about Influenza Ciderius

and Mamie La Panatopai.

Ten Wretched Things first appeared in daily science fiction. Mommy Hla Panatop things first appeared in daily science fiction,

Mamie Rapanata Pie first appeared in cross genres.

So without further ado, we bring you

ten wretched things about influenza sedarious

and Mami Rapanata Pie. Wanda Ciderius and Mamie

Lapanatopai by Rachel K Jones.

Ten wretched things about Influenza Sedarius by Rachel K Jones.

10. but your husband suggests a little fresh air instead.

You do feel better after the walk,

but by the next morning the listlessness has returned tenfold.
