We are thrilled, humbled, stunned and staggered to once again be a Hugo Finalist in Best Semiprozine, particularly as we're revisiting our roots through the #PodCastle15th anniversary interviews. This means so much to our team, especially this year; you have no idea. Thank you 💚

We are interested in tales featuring both human and nonhuman characters encountering the challenges of a city; the wily, the shrewd, the schemers, the devious, and those who do not survive in The City at all despite their best efforts.

#NarratorCall: we need a Hawaiian male-presenting narrator for an incredible 4700-word story. $30 paid!

If this is you, record a 2min sample MP3 and email it to [email protected] so we can check recording quality.

[PodCastle @PodCastle_org]

That honestly matters more than a mic--you can record on an iPhone perfectly well if your environment is right--but whatever mic you use, get as close as you can to it.
