Escape, 618, all profound and logical minds, by Bennett North, Welcome to Artemis Rising. I'm Laura. Hello and welcome to Escape Pod, your weekly science fiction podcast.

I'm Laura, your host for this episode.

Our story this week is all profound and logical minds by Bennett North.

This is an Escape Pod original, part of our Artemis Rising event.

By day, Bennett North maintains computer labs for art students at a local university.

By night, she writes both short and long format queer speculative fiction when she's not too busy playing

fallout four or seven days to die. She likes to think of herself as a runner and a rock climber,

although she doesn't do either of those things nearly

as often as she'd like.

She lives somewhere between Providence, Rhode Island and Boston, Massachusetts.

You can find her at then at north.com.

Danny Daly is a former assistant editor of Cast of Wonders and

narrating stories is just one of the things she loves to do.

She's a retired roller derby player and current small batch soapmaker, for instance.

Soaps and balms from Storytime Soap Company are crafted while listening to audio fiction of all sorts.

She rants on Twitter as at Danuli Danny if that's your thing.

Or you can visit the EA forums where she moderates the cast of wonders boards.

Danny has previously narrated stories for

podcastal, Sudopod, and cast of wonders,

but this is her first Escape Pod narration,

which means she's earned her Storyteller badge today.

Congratulations Storyteller Danny.
