All works are copyright their respective authors. Hello Gentle Listeners— May brought us the announcement of the Hugo Awards nominees, which means that June is Hugo Month! For years, Escape Pod has been buying the rights to most of the Hugo short story nominees, and this year is no different. We’ll be featuring three of the four nominees, and since June has five Thursdays, we will also be featuring two longer stories that got Nebula and/or Hugo nods! We also have the ebook rights to the stories, which is an Escape Pod first, so next month’s Soundproof will be a collector’s item. (If a digital file could be collectible. Which it can’t. So never mind. But you know what I mean; it’ll be cool.) I’m very excited to see our site growing so much. We want to send extra special congrats to the podcasts who managed to make it onto the Hugo Ballot this year! 2010 winner for Best Fanzine, Starship Sofa, has gotten another nomination, and Writing Excuses has received a nod for Best Related Work. SSS has wonderful stories from many masters of SF, and Writing Excuses has wonderful discussions on how to write genre fiction. We are thrilled that these quality pod- casts are getting attention from fandom. I’ll be reporting from WorldCon in two and a half months, and liveblogging the Hugo Awards. More info soon! A question we get a lot of is, “Why do you not have all the stories in your PDF?” The answer is simple- au- dio and ebook rights are purchased separately, and sometimes an author cannot or will not grant us both rights. Or there are stories we’ve purchased before we started purchasing ebook rights, so we have no right to give you text versions of the stories. We take our authors’ rights very seriously and will only release the format for which we have rights. Audio-only stories are fewer and fewer these days, but there still will be an occasional one in our future feed. Speaking of the feed, some people have asked that the Soundproof Escape Pod have its own feed, or the audio have its own feed. Or the R stories to have their own feed. We get this question a lot and can’t really create custom feeds for each listener - but never fear, there is a solution. I’d like to point you to a page that gives you some RSS options, including some things you can do to custom make your own EP feed. From How To Subscribe (http://escapepod.org/subscribe/): You can make your own special Escape Pod feed by subscribing to http://www.escapepod.org/category/ XXXX/feed where you replace XXXX with the category you want to subscribe to. Categories are listed on the front page in a drop-down box on the right. Have at it! Lastly, in order to get the submissions under control, we’re taking two months off and closing for submis- sions on June 6th. We hope you enjoy this issue, chock full of awesome stories, reviews, and Nebula reporting. We hope you have a wonderful summer (or winter, if you’re on the other side of the world) and keep listening! We will have other announcements next month! ——Mur Mur Lafferty Editor —30— 3 [Basically, sometimes you have to let one of your fellow editors borrow the car, so to speak. This is one of those times. I told him to avoid that dragon’s nest he always goes too close to. Still — good luck. -Ed.] Hey Folks— In late 2007, I took a trip down to San Diego’s Conjecture convention. I’d been listening to Escape Pod for a couple of years (PodCastle hadn’t even started yet) and so I was thrilled that the very first panel I got to see featured Tim Pratt, Heather Shaw, and Greg van Eekhout. Tim had just won a Hugo for his story “Im- possible Dreams” (which I first heard at Escape Pod, yo!) and proceeded to do a collaborative reading of ABC flash fiction. Essentially, they divvied up the alphabet, wrote flash fiction stories for each letter, such as “E is for Excrement” and “N is for Nevermore Nevermore Land.” It was a fantastic reading - hilarious, poignant, thrilling, and most of all - they knew how to have fun. I left the convention knowing, just knowing, that one day - this ABC book was going to be big. But nothing happened. Several years passed, and still - nothing happened. And then, toward the end of last year - I realized, I’m at Escape Artists, co-editing PodCastle, and that awesome book I remember? Is out there still, and nobody’s heard it. So, I talked to Ben Phillips, and then I talked to Tim, Heather, Greg, and Jenn Reese - who came aboard to help them finish up the collection - and we came up with a plan. I decided it’d be awesome to send the Alphabet Quartet out to listeners who’d been kind enough to sign up as paid subscribers or make a one-time donation to us of $50 or more since January 1, 2011. Times are tough, we know, and not everyone can donate, so all the Escape Artists podcasts are going to be sharing a few of these stories with everyone who wants them (and also at the Drabblecast). Additionally, all the stories are available to read there for free at Daily Science Fiction, a great new online magazine that emails you free SF/F stories daily, so everyone wins. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy the extra stories. ——Dave Dave Thompson Co-Editor of Podcastle [One hoopy frood -Ed.] —30— 4 EP292: In The Water By Katherine Mankiller Yvonne looked up from her monitor, the beads in her cornrows clattering as Roger walked into her office. Roger sat in the dark wooden chair opposite her desk. “Weren’t you assigned Alice van Buuren?” “Oh, no you don’t,” Yvonne said. “You can’t have her.” Yvonne hadn’t been assigned Alice; she’d request- ed her. Alice was probably the only murder victim’s wife she would ever meet. They hadn’t even put the murder in the papers. Maybe they thought there’d be a panic. “Please,” Roger said. “I’m just trying to save you some trouble. I’ve already spoken to her, and…” Yvonne crossed her arms and glared. “Wouldn’t you raise hell if I talked to one of your patients behind your back?” “She’s refusing modern therapy. What are you going to do, use the old-fashioned techniques your grand- mother used?” Roger had a lot of nerve mentioning Grandma. Yvonne glanced at the photo on the corner of her desk. Grandma Jackson had been a big woman, with braids down to her hips and skin like chocolate. Grandma Jackson smiled back at the camera, all reassuring good nature. Roger said, “I think we should just wipe her and have done with it.” “Too bad she’s not your patient,” Yvonne said. “I could take her away from you, you know.” “Don’t you dare!” There was an awkward silence. “It’ll be less confusing for her if I come with you,” Roger said. “Just to hand her off to you. You understand.” “Fine,” Yvonne said. “Whatever.” “Good girl,” Roger said, and Yvonne gritted her teeth. “Room 314.” He stood. “Let’s go.” “Now?” Yvonne said. She picked up her coffee and almost took a sip, then put it down again, making a face. It was cold, and it had been so bitter hot that she’d taken caffeine pills with orange juice instead. Roger snorted. “That bad?” Roger clearly wasn’t going anywhere, so Yvonne stood, picked up her jacket, and followed Roger out of her office. The halls were white to the point of being blinding after her calm, earth-toned office, and reeked of disinfectant. They went upstairs and over to room 314. Roger placed his hand on the identification plate and the door slid open. “Hello, Alice,” Roger said. The patient, a skinny, pale woman with brown hair, backed away from Roger. She reminded Yvonne of someone, although she couldn’t put her finger on whom. The patient fell into a seated position on the bed, mouth open, staring at Yvonne. Before Yvonne could say anything, Roger said, “This is Doctor Jackson. Doctor Jackson, this is Alice.” “We’re not going to hurt you,” Yvonne said. 5 The patient–Alice–stared at Yvonne for a moment, then shut her mouth. She shot Roger a defiant look. “I’ll just leave you to it,” Roger said, and left. “Hello, Alice,” Yvonne said. “You can call me Yvonne if you prefer.” “We’ve met,” Alice said. It wasn’t a question. Alice really did look familiar. “Refresh my memory?” “It doesn’t matter,” Alice said and looked away. There was an uncomfortable silence.

  • Blogs: What Are They??
    BLOGS: WHAT ARE THEY?? Blogs are a contemporary form of journalism. To answer the title question, we may build our reply using several of the questions journalists are trained to address. When did blogs appear on the scene? The term blog has its earliest direct roots in on-line diaries which appeared in 1994 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_blogging). It was not until 1997 that the term “weblog” was coined to describe this form of communication; by 1999, it finally morphed into simply blog. In 2004, Meriam-Webster cataloged the word blog as a legitimate dictionary denizen. Ian Ring is credited with being the inventor (or parent) of the blog in 1997. As noted above, in its earliest years the blog appeared primarily as an on line diary or serial of the life and times of its author(s). Today’s blogs are adolescents in linguistic terms and they have outgrown all of their early childhood clothing to take on a host of very different appearances. An early Ted Talk includes commentary on the young years of blogging. Mena Trott in 2006 recounts some of her early experiences with blogging she began in 2001 ( https:// www.ted.com/talks/mena_trott_tours_her_blog_world ). Now, some 10 years after this Ted Talk, blogs have undergone explosive growth in both content and numbers, achieving a stature only dimly envisioned by their parents. We now encounter blog as just one of a whole host of terms building upon it including blogger, blogging, liveblogging, photoblog, microblog, moblog and a host of others. What purposes can blogs serve? Want to inform, teach, convince, amuse, sway, share, sell, defend, support or refute something? • Long and short of it – blogs are contemporary forms of journalism in the broadest sense of the art.

  • Communities of Blogging: Extensions of Our Identities Ellen Taricani
    American Communication Journal Vol. 9, No. 3, Fall 2007 Communities of Blogging: Extensions of Our Identities Ellen Taricani Keywords: blogging, identity, social networking Writing through a blog is a way of extending ourselves in a virtual world. Our identity is formed and molded as we unveil our thoughts and have others offer comments and feedback. The online environment has a direct impact in creating active social interactions to assist in defining our identity. Most blogs are a personal journal type of entry that deals with the personal experiences and reflections. Our concept of ourself is derived from a perceived membership in a particular blog through the deeper connectivity of the dialog. Most bloggers are under 30 and influenced by the postmodern philosophies. Some of these are discussed and parallels are made to bring more understanding of this fascination with the public broadcast of thoughts and feelings. ________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Ellen Taricani is a Lecturer in the Dept. of Communication Arts and Sciences at Penn State University. Correspondence to: Dept. of Communication Arts and Sciences, Penn State University 227 Sparks Building, University Park, PA 16802. Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the American Communication Conference annual meeting, Taos, New Mexico, Oct. 3-7, 2007 Blogging is a popular social and cultural collection of thought and communication. It consists of a presence that is an expression of who we are, our identity. Culture attempts to adopt this technology across dimensions of life, such as personal and professional life. Dertouzos (1997) described it as a world of human-centric computing that will insinuate the lives of individuals in societies that have learned to accept technology.

  • Alice Birdwatching: a Community Built Knowledge Base for Birdwatchers
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Alice Birdwatching: a community built knowledge base for birdwatchers João Pedro Lago Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Supervisor: Teresa Galvão Dias (PhD) 26th June, 2010 Alice Birdwatching: a community built knowledge base for birdwatchers João Pedro Lago Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Approved in oral examination by the committee: Chair: Jorge Manuel Gomes Barbosa (PhD) External Examiner: Rui João Peixoto José (PhD) Supervisor: Maria Teresa Galvão Dias (PhD) 31st July, 2010 Abstract Drawing on the reasons for the origins of the Internet, the web 2.0 phenomenon in the latter decade has enabled Internet users to become not only consumers but also producers of information, something that most of them didn’t let pass. The success of User Generated Content (UGC) sites like Wikipedia has inspired the expansion of the principle to other, more specific contexts. Similarly, there has been an explosion in the abilities of mobile devices, which have also started contributing to this content frenzy with different types of data, such as geographically referenced content. This document describes the conception and development a project, Alice Birdwatch- ing, that aims at creating an online community for content generation in the context of birdwatching. This application will allow birdwatcher to generate content about their fa- vorite hobby (sometimes taken very seriously) in an easy and comfortable way, such as it was not available on the web as of the writing of this paper. The application will also take advantage of mobile technologies, both to help generate content and to help bird watchers on the field, where a computer would be a liability.

Legacy publishers, as well as digital-native outlets and aggrega- tors, are beginning to adapt to this new news landscape, in part by drawing newfound value from archival stories and reusing older works. However, this trend's potential remains limited by technical challenges and institutional inertia.

  • Richard Jones, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, University of Huddersfield—Written Evidence (FOJ0017)
    Richard Jones, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, University of Huddersfield—written evidence (FOJ0017) Select Committee on Communications and Digital: inquiry into the future of journalism I’m pleased to be able to send this response to the committee following the call for evidence on the future of journalism. I’m a senior lecturer in Journalism at the University of Huddersfield and have been researching court reporting in the local media as part of a PhD I have been undertaking at Cardiff University. My response here features material I have drawn from that research. Generally speaking, it addresses the questions of the value to society of journalism, and the ways in which digital technologies have changed the practice of journalism, with a focus on the reporting of courts in the UK. This submission will briefly summarise some of the findings of the research, then include a series of recommendations for how coverage of the courts might be maintained and enhanced. Local journalism has long been described as being in crisis (Rouger 2008, Moore 2015, Cawley 2017, Wadbring & Bergstrom 2017). In the UK, local newspapers have experienced years of declining circulations and staff cuts (Mediatique 2018), leading to questions about how effectively those institutions can continue to perform elemental normative functions of journalism, even as they remain central to the news diet of consumers (Gulyas, O’Hara & Eilenberg 2018). One of those is to report on the courts, a role traditionally undertaken by specialist reporters working on the courts beat. The courts have long served as one of the key sources of stories in local newspapers (Franklin & Murphy 1991, O’Neill & O’Connor 2008).
