This performance has\nnow been made available on the 'StarShipSofa' podcast here:\nhttp://podcast.starshipsofa.com/podcast/StarShipSofa_Aural_Delights_No_49_Gene_Wolfe.mp3.\nThe drama starts about an hour into the podcast, and is pretty good,\nalthough the sound effects and music drown out the dialogue at a couple of\npoints. Laurence Santoro talks about the adaptation and production before\nand afterwards, but apparently the post-drama discussion is cut short 11\nminutes too early.\n\nThe story itself is creepily effective, with a good Wolfean unreliable\nnarrator, and there's enough ambiguity to sustain plenty of discussion. And\nas others have noted, it has a lot of common ground with the later sections\nof _AEG_.\n\nI've been listening to the StarShipSofa podcast for a long time now and\nwould heartily recommend it, particularly its weekly 'Aural Delights' show,\nwhich typically includes sf poetry, flash fiction, a short story and perhaps\nsome non-fiction articles.\n\nCheers\n\nJon"
