I'm posting this here after seeing it boosted on Bluesky.

I'm sure there are some people here who enjoy the SciFi stories published at the Escapepod podcast.

R.S.A. Garcia has had several novella length stories published on the podcast, and i think they are superb space opera adventures.

Now would be a good time to show her your support. We need to protect our storytellers, especially in these difficult times.

@BE would you and kiddo be willing to share that list? No worries if not.

Some of those authors and others have wonderful short stories (and narrated podcasts) in the monthly magazines @clarkesworld #BeyondCeaselessSkies #Podcastle #Lightspeed @UncannyMagazine #EscapePod and others.

@Quinnypig Always makes me think of this Escape Pod episode:

Most visionary story they ever published.

Mal was anderes

@0xabad1dea I remember listening to and really enjoying the idea of this world in @EAPodcasts
and being just delighted by the idea of a world with ubiquitous acknowledgement of people’s caring needs.

#WeltenkreuzerLäuft gibt mir endlich wieder eine Gelegenheit, die #ScienceFiction-Kuzgeschichten von #EscapePod zu hören ...

One of my favorite stories, though heart-wrenching to me personally to read.

Deals directly with the idea you suggest of AI as emotional guidance systems. But less utopian outlook because:

* The tech assumes jockeying for social hierarchy will still be important.

* By default, the tech seems to bake-in designer values, rather than user values.

"Aliens are gonna think we listen to Chuck Berry. They’re gonna think we walk around naked and listen to Chuck Berry." 🤣

(I guess somebody should have punched Carl Sagan in the f***ing c**k...)
