The following story is true. The names have been changed at the request of the survivors.

After all, this is a horror fiction podcast.

SudaPod, episode 9991 for August 28, 2025.

The Hermit Crab God by EgoBot. Narrated by Christopher Tang, hosted by Cat Day, audio by Chelsea Davis.

Hey everyone, hope you're doing okay. I'm Kat, Deputy Editor at Sudapod, your host for this week.

And I'm excited to tell you that for this week, which, by the way, marks the

beginning of weird science horror where we remain until the end of the summer, we have

the Hermit Crab God by EgoBot. This story is a pseudopod original. EgoBot is a human writer

who is confident we're going to make it through all this.

His self-published collection, there's something weird going on,

ten stories of existentialist science fiction,

contain science fiction stories of a more optimistic nature.

He is most active on blue sky.

And your narrator this week is Christopher Tang,

who is a lawyer and creative living in Kennesaw, Georgia, with his family and cats.

His published work includes various role-playing books and historical writing in The Diamond

magazine, for which he received the first Willard Fisk Award for Media and History.

Previous voice work can be found across escape artists.

By the time this goes live, there will probably be some new project distracting him,

and you can find details on that at chris tangwriter.bluesky.com.

Now, we have a story for you

and we promise you
