We at a skate pod want to recommend the Sci-Fi Fantasy Audio Drama Podcast,

Theater of the Midnight Sun. It's an audio play anthology full of music, fun,

and the occasional Earth-shaking apocalypse. Such as a story about a cozy home where all your dreams come true,

whether you like it or not,

or a sci-fi mystery that poses disturbing questions about identity, free will,

and your everyday soft drink.

And let's not forget the tale of a prankster scientist and his pipsqueak pooch who encounter a paradigm

shift of the deadliest kind. There's all that and more at Theatre of the

midnight sun available wherever you listen to podcasts. Escape Baud, Episode, Episode, Part 2.

Escape Baud, Episode 924. The T4200. Part 2 of 2, by J.R. Johnson. Oh, Hello and welcome to a skate pod your weekly science fiction podcast. I'm Valerie

Valdez, your host for this episode. Our story this week is part two of the

T4200 by J.R. Johnson.

The story originally appeared in Andromed to Spaceways magazine in March 2017.

J.R. Johnson writes science fiction and fantasy about future histories, imaginary

geographies, and speculative societies. She grew up in the folded Appalachian hills

where she learned to love Fall, blueberries straight from the bush, and the stream beneath the willows near her house. The fact that fall is inevitably followed by winter, that picking berry berries meant crossing paths with bears, and that the stream was laced with dioxins may also have had some impact on her outlook.

She holds a PhD in urban studies in Planning, an MS in Geography, and a BA in History.

Her work has appeared in Writers of the Future, Triangulation Energy, Nature Futures, and other publications.

adult and demand they read them all to him. When they finished, he'd fetch another stack.
