PseudoPod 79: Ice

Johnson shrugged. “Captain says another day.”
About the Author
Heather Hatch
“Ice” came to me from a lot of places.
I was rifling through the school library one day and I came across a little leaflet published by August Derleth that was basically the transcription of a panel discussion he’d moderated at some convention back in the 60’s.

About the Narrator
Elie Hirschman
“Elie Hirschman always wanted to be a voice actor, growing up watching He-man, ThunderCats and Voltron. After recording several e-Learning videos, scientific articles and commercial narration gigs, Elie discovered the world of audio drama and sci-fi podcasts, working with such groups as Darker Projects and Dream Realm Productions. 20 years and over 30 EA Podcast appearances later, still no guest spot on any of the He-man reboots, but who knows what’ll happen in the next 20 years?”
