Rish Narrates "Like A Bird From The Sky" on StarShipSofa

Didn't think it would happen either.

So, I perform the story "Like A Bird From The Sky" by Alexis Ames.  A cool name.

I like this story quite a bit.  It takes place during The Great War, and I wasn't sure whether to do the main character as American or English (so I did it both ways, and decided that, technically, he should be English).  The only American character is a man who died the year before, and I tried to do a very distinctive voice for him, pressing a wheeze into my down-home country accent, speaking a little bit like my father did after his surgery, right before he died.  Audio enables me to create a whole array of characters--it's kind of a superpower.

Anyway, check it out at this LINK.

"Daughter Death Star Day" on Delusions of Grandeur

Rish here.  This month, if I can get it done, we'll have two episodes of Delusions of Grandeur.  But the first is right here, where Marshal Latham and I talk about "Clone Wars," the ROGUE ONE audio commentary (plague edition!), McClunky, and I present my lil Star Wars sketch "Daughter Death Star Day."

In it, I imagine the hilarity of Bring Your Daughter To Work Day on Tarkin's space station.  Of course, your hilarity mileage may vary.

Check it out RIGHT HERE!

Rish and Marshal Talk "Something Wicked This Way Comes"

Over at the Journey Into... podcast, Marshal Latham has posted another of those Outfield Excursions episodes.  In this one, we talk about the 1983 Walt Disney adaptation of Ray Bradbury's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

We don't do a lot of these shows, but it's always a pleasure to get together with Marshal and talk movies.

Check it out HERE.

Rish's Voice On "Elsie At 30,000 Feet" By Tim Pratt

Rish here.  Marshal Latham was kind enough to send me a story the other day, asking if I would narrate it for his Journey Into... podcast.

When I say "he was kind enough," I mean that "Elsie At 30,000 Feet" was such a good story that I felt truly honored that he picked me to narrate it.  It was an homage, of sorts, to "The Twilight Zone," and the kind of story I would write, if I were just a bit more talented than I am.

It tells of a sort of everyman, Gustavo, who gets on an airplane, and a strange woman, Elsie, sits down in the seat next to him.  She seems simply eccentric at first, but later, reveals herself to be something more sinister.

Tim Pratt wrote my favorite episode of EscapePod ever.  And the two Christmas stories I got to perform over on PodCastle (by him) are my two favorites there.  And now, well, here's a story I loved so much I wish I had it to perform for my own show(s).  But I got to voice the main character, and that's quite enough.  And Christmas came early (along with the end of the world) because Marshal also had me come on as a guest on this episode, and we talk about the story and "The Twilight Zone" (specifically, the 2019 pseudo-retelling of "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet").

Check it out at THIS LINK.  Tell 'em I sent you.

Rish and Marshal Review "Sword of the Valiant"

You are surely aware of the podcast Marshal Latham and I do about Star Wars, the Delusions of Grandeur podcast.

But we also, from time to time, do a show called "Outfield Excursions," where we review a movie either chosen by us or our listeners. In the most recent episode, we talk about SWORD OF THE VALIANT: THE LEGEND OF GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT.

It's a dreadful low-budget Fantasy from the early Eighties . . . with a wonderful cast of famous faces, the famousest of those, Sir Sean Connery.

Oh, Connery is magnificent in his scenes, as usual, and it's a joy to chat about him (and get to re-voice some of his lines later in the show). The movie itself is not worth seeing, but the cast, and a couple of scenes, are certainly worth talking about.

Check it out AT THIS LINK . . .
