We thought we’d share a number of the places PseudoPod was mentioned in the media during October 2020:
Frolic calls out two stories which have run on PseudoPod as scarring including 20 Simple Steps to Ventriloquism by Jon Padgett and The Screwfly Solution by James Tiptree, Jr: https://frolic.media/10-horror-tales-that-scarred-me-for-life-by-laura-marks/amp/
Join me, Sadie Hartmann, aka “Mother Horror”, each month as I take a deep dive into the back catalog of PseudoPod episodes. My first choice is a recommendation from the PseudoPod “About” page: THE PIT by Joe R. Lansdale.
I chose this episode for 3 reasons:
The British Fantasy Society shortlist has been announced, revealing that both PseudoPod and PodCastle have both been nominated under the Best Audio category! We are honored to share a list with a number of truly stunning artists, not just on the audio shortlist, but the entire list of British Fantasy Award nominees.
Now, please note that we are Dream Warriors hoping this will be the Season of the Witch. Or maybe our Ragnarok. Third time’s the charm!
Also, our gHostus Mostus Alasdair’s weekly pop culture newsletter, The Full Lid, has gotten a nonfiction nomination!
Please join us in congratulating our hardworking editorial teams on this awesome recognition.
The British Fantasy Awards are typically presented each year at Fantasycon, which (under normal circumstances) takes place in Glasgow, Scotland in October.
There are a number of short stories in anthologies and collections that deserve to get in front of more readers.

Publishers, please send us your collections and anthologies, specifically those that have been or will be published in 2020, and identify any stories original to that publication.
Authors, ask your publisher to send us the book; if they’re not interested, we still want you to submit your story here — just include the collection or anthology title in the cover letter for your individual story. (Continue Reading…)
