Prometheus Radio Theatre

The Balticon Podcast has reached its 100th episode!  And. to celebrate, Paul asked for fiction from the first ten podcasters to ever attend a podcasting track at an SFCon anywhere, anywhen, at Balticon 40.  Since Steve Wilson was among those ten, Prometheus was asked for an entry; and how better to celebrate the 100th podcast from such a grand old SF con than with a special Arbiter Chronicles episode, featuring the entire cast?

So here it is, The Arbiters do Balticon! You’ll also hear some wonderful pieces by Jared Blackwell, Mur Lafferty and Christiana Ellis!

This brief update is mostly to let listeners know that episodes are no longer being posted to the feed at http://prometheusradiotheatre.com/?feed=rss.  That’s exclusively our blog feed now.  Podcasts will be on http://prometheus.rnn.libsynpro.com/rss.

I also mention the book Getting Things Done, by David Allen, which I recommend to anyone who’s feeling a bit out of control of all the STUFF they want to accomplish.

Finally, there are coupons available on Smashwords so that you can buy Firebringer Press ebooks for the reduced price of $2.50.  These are good through June 25th.  We’ll probably keep generating new ones, so check the Prometheus blog if you miss the date.

Coupon Codes:

Taken Liberty: LP46E

Peace Lord of the Red Planet: GE42S

Testing the Prisoner: HU58N

Many thanks to our friends at Libsyn for their efforts in straightening out the incorrect feed for our podcasts at the iTunes Store.  The links to both our feed and our website are now correct!

Our friend Helen E. H. Madden wrote “When the Angels Fall,” a story about a young man who’s in love with his oppressive robot guardian angel, for the collection Coming Together: With Pride.  Steve did a reading of it for this week’s Nobilis Erotica podcast.

It being an erotica podcast, please consider yourself advised that the content is explicit.

Thanks to all of you who came out to see us at Balticon, both at the Farpoint table and at the Firebringer Presents panels and Steve’s reading.  And just to show it wasn’t all business, here’s a photo by our own Paul Balze of Steve moderating the “Naughty Mad Libs” panel, and struggling not-so-bravely through the results of a mad-libbed passage from Robert A. Heinlein’s I Will Fear No Evil. Sheila Dee looks on, amused, while Doc Coleman seeks refuge on the delightful shoulder of Laura Frechette.

The first Arbiter Chronicles novel,  Taken Liberty, has been available on Kindle (and, of course in paper!) for a while.  This week, however, we’re excited to announce that it’s also available as an iBook, a Sony eReader book, and a Barnes & Noble Nook book! All of this is courtesy of the fine folks at Smashwords, where it’s also available in just about every ebook format imaginable!

Please consider supporting PRT by buying a copy for just $4.99, and please, please consider leaving a review on your favorite eBookstore!

The fine folks at Libsyn have submitted a correction to our blog feed with iTunes.   New subscriptions will be pointed at the correct url soon.   At that point, if your feed is broken, you’ll need to re-subscribe.  We’ll post here when everything’s in order!

If you’ve been subscribed to this blog please note the new rss feed is:

http://prometheusradiotheatre.com/?feed=rss

This was brought about by today’s integration of the blog and the site.  Also, there’s been a little confusion of late about the podcast feed, brought about by some changes made on Libsyn’s side.  The old feed -

http://prometheus.libsyn.com/rss

had stopped working for a while, but seems to be back.  The new feed -

http://prometheus.rnn.libsynpro.com/rss

is probably the better one to use.  Somewhere during the transition from Libsyn to LibsynPro, someone did the “favor” of publishing this feed:

http://prometheus.rnn.beta.libsynpro.com/rss

It doesn’t work, and it seems, sadly, to be the feed iTunes published, which is causing some problems.  Keep in touch if you’re having issues, and we’ll get them worked out!

For now, if you’re subscribed to the podcast via iTunes, you can add the correct feed by going to the PODCAST section of your iTunes library, clicking ADVANCED on the top menu bar, selecting SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST, and then entering http://prometheus.rnn.libsynpro.com/rss in the dialogue box.  This will pull the correct feed, and give you our latest episode.

Phil, author of our current feature, Testing the Prisoner, has been interviewing a number of authors on his blog. Steve is the latest.

Part OnePart Two

After his fatal confrontation with the demon, Daniel reaches out to Miranda from the other side.  Together, they’re forced on a disturbing tour through Daniel’s violent childhood.

We hope you’re enjoying Testing the Prisoner! Remember you can order a copy of the book from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.  It’s also available in a Kindle edition from Amazon.
