Escape Pod

One of my favorite podcasts is called Escape Pod. Every week it publishes short science fiction stories that are almost always fantastic, including Hugo award nominees. The voice talent is generally excellent and it is by far my favorite way to spend my commute. This week, the story was 'Usurpers' a futuristic take on high school cross country meets. The language is pretty strong, but the story put me right back on the Davis Dart’s cross country team. I was never any where near as intense as the runners in this story, and it kind of reminds me why I got away from competitive running. The runners out there will appreciate the story, and lover’s of science fiction will enjoy the podcast.
