Will be listening to this today, during my lunch, and while walking to and from subway after work – I was SO EXCITED to see I had ALMOST AN HOUR of QN for my day! Thank you!

Awesome job, everyone! You all did amazingly. Totally captivated me (and creeped me out as well). I think I might have nightmares now… ;-)

Sage, it was beautifully done, and kudos to all the (other) actors. Wow! This will definitely be a frequent re-listen – is it possible to wear out an mp3 file?
Amazing, folks!

That was wonderful and the first podcast I’ve found that’s as good as escape pod. And the first time I really liked something by Cory Doctorow as much as I hoped I’d like it.
You know how the numbers for escapepod grew so fast from the beginning. So will this.

Note to self: Do not listen to QN during the 4 minute commute to work when you know that the QN episode is longer than the actual commute. Consequences include an uneasy feeling of dread for the rest of the day and/or sitting in the car to finish listening, thus making one late for work….

I listened to this the other night while soaking in the bath – it was totally worth getting prunified.

Now, THAT was the best audio dramatization I’ve heard of a really fantastic short story! You got the casting just right, the direction was spot on (I’ve worked with some of those guys, I swear!), and the sfx & foley are really good; far better than most I’ve heard courtesy of Audible.com.
How do you do it, and can I get involved? Checking out the minions link next…

Hey… really excellent and compelling. I have been recently (the last couple of days) enjoying QN it’s a lot like an audio version of Found Magazine (at times). This particular story was just great. It wasa nice choice… but also very well produced. I was enthralled. Thanks to everybody involved! I love this cast.
