Hello again, Rangers! We’re so excited about this new subcast of Reading Rangers! One of our most requested subjects from our annual listener survey was discussions of short fiction, and so we’ve decided to deliver with Reading Rangers: Shorts! Woohoo! On a bi-monthly basis, a rotating cast of team members will sit down and discuss language, themes, structure, and more about whatever short stories they feel like talking about, including award finalists, anthologies, magazine issues, and classic works.
In this first episode, Trish, Elizabeth, and Brandon dive right into the 2017 Nebula Finalists for Best Short Story! Stories of identity, marginalization, virtual reality, AI, robots, and wind-up dolls make up this year’s list of finalists, so strap on your hats, grab your binoculars, and lets range through some speculative fiction, shall we?
We hope you enjoy the episode!

I was wrong! Carnival Nine is not on Escape Pod or Podcastle, silly me. It’s a podcast at Beneath Ceaseless Skies, which also published the text version.
