You are listening to a Clark's World Magazine podcast with your host to narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clark told citizens,

I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

It is December 1st, 2017. Welcome to a whole new issue. Issue 135. And before we begin

today's podcast I want to just give a huge shout out to all of you who

support this magazine. I know I say that every single podcast but it is true. You

guys are the lifeblood, you guys are the ones that keep us running, whether it is the dollar or more a month you support us via Patreon,

if you're a subscriber via Amazon or Weightless Books,

or you buy any of the multiple books that Neil sells at various area conventions

or if you can't use your monetary superpowers, you Twitter or Facebook or tell a friend about

us.

You guys are amazing.

And for this December, I'm encouraging you.

If you haven't been able to contribute and can find it in your heart to do so, please.

Every little bit counts.

Neil is really close on that Patreon goal. If we just get a few more

you guys to push us over it'd be great. Our first story for the month of December is titled The Rains on Mars and is by

Natalia Zathorisu. Natalia is a media and cultural studies scholar and a writer of strange stories.

Her work has appeared in Apex, Shimmer Strange Horizons, SubQ, and elsewhere.

She is also the dramaturge of the Adrift Performance Makers at Adrift PM,

with whom she blends interactive fiction in immersive digital performance.

She lives in Devon, UK.
