Season 4 Ep8 is live with "Your Future is Pending" by Matthew Kressel and "Work Life Balance" by Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers Cara Mast! https://www.kaleidocast.nyc/

In "Your Future is Pending," the noon day sun can cook a bird on the wing, and the costs of living have risen faster than mercury. There's only so much more of it that Martha can take before she does something...extreme.

In "Work Life Balance," magic is all in the small print details. So is friendship. So is descent insurance. Whatever you do, don't get sick. https://www.kaleidocast.nyc/

Patreon Subscribers! On this short break between new Season 4 episodes, how about a little blast of nostalgia?

Bringing you today our "meta story" from all the way back in Season 1: those bits that precede each story wherein our usual cast of cool nerds from the Fort Greene Meta Technic Institute--Professor Bradley Oversteet, Senior Junior Lecturer Sam Spellingbound and Inquisitor James Earl King III (only mildly foiled by one Dawn Fairweather Jenkins)--wrangle a whole season of sentient stories, all of which are still easily accessible for your listening pleasure.

Please enjoy! https://www.patreon.com/posts/season-1-99754505?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

To our Patreon Subscribers: As we await the arrival of Season 4, Part 2, we're making a musical flashback to Season 3, which was recorded while we all huddled in corners hyperventilating through masks into our brown paper bags. We had to learn how to record remotely. But making the Kaleidocast was also a kind of therapy. Certainly, the music helped.

Marcus Tsong, by then co-story runner with Sam Schreiber, did his thing again and found the song each story was meant to be with. This album is eclectic as hell!

To our beautiful $6-and-up Patreon subscribers! Are you ready for a fresh download? Our Season 4 Exquisite Co**se Story has turned truly exquisite, and just so you're sure to appreciate it's many charms, perhaps a review:

Our collected authors were required to begin with fantasy, since we'd pretty much exhausted horror and sci-fi our last two seasons (not that genre's can't cross). They were supplied with a cast of required or suggested characters, as well as the choice of a required phrase to include in each of their episodes:

"We come to it at last, the great ___ of our time.”
"The ___ stands on the edge of a ___. Stray but a little, and it will ___.”
"When you play the game of ___, you ___ or you ___.”

If you're all caught up, but the I-always-read-everything-twice type (called), then just start at the beginning, because OMG. But if you're not feeling the deep dive, then please enjoy today's lovely new entry. And as always, thanks for your support!

Lovely Patreon Subscribers: As we await the release of Part 2 of our magnificent fourth season (four great episodes left to go!) we're taking a flashback to Season 2, where the music we used was a love letter to David Bowie. Our Season 4 story runner, Marcus Tsong, is an absolute font of musical knowledge. He read every story that season, then curated each with a perfectly matched David Bowie song. https://www.patreon.com/posts/musical-all-from-94378061?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
