You're listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarks World Citizens. I'm back and I'm so far behind. I got super, super sick. We're talking bronchitis. We're talking

not being able to take a deep breath. We're talking, coughing, while talking. So I'll be slowly getting back up to speed.

It seems like every time that I do, something else catastrophic happens and I can't record anything.

So I want to thank you if you sent a missive my way asking how I was doing and where the hell or the podcasts.

Thank you for checking up on me and thank you for being Clark's World Citizens.

So, let's jump right into it, shall we?

We're into Issue 208, January 2024.

And this one is titled Nothing of Value by Amy Ogden.

Amy Ogden is an American wherewolf in The Netherlands.

Her debut novella, Son Daughters, Sea Daughters, was a Nebula Award

finalist, and her short fiction has also appeared in publications such as Lightspeed,

beneath ceaseless skies, and strange horizons, as well as previously in Clark's World.

She also co-ets Trans Lunar Travelers Lounge, a magazine of fun and optimistic speculative fiction.

If you like what you hear, you can go back to accountability and

other myths of Old Earth, Company Town, the cold calculations and

intentionalities. And I want to thank you before I begin for always sticking by

Clark's World's side and that goes for all of you who have bought subscriptions

who've gone to Patreon.com

forward slash Clark's World, who sent some money our way to help us navigate the

challenges of publishing a short fiction magazine. Your support is greatly appreciated and if you haven't yet gotten to it

I hope that in this new year you can find it in your heart to do so. Again that's
