A couple months ago I picked up a copy of Robots Beyond and was quite impressed by the Josh Reynolds short story, The Strange Affair of the Artisan's Heart. When it comes to short stories the Strange Affair is just about perfect; its got intriguing plot, twists and turns, interesting setting (Victorian Steampunk), unique protagonist (Ameriquetzlan Ambassador Ulrich Popoca), a beautiful woman with an agenda of her own (Countess Felluci), and great dialogue and use of language.Now DuneSteef Audio Fiction Magazine has turned this short story into an audio drama, complete with character actors doing the voices. The adaption is about a half hour long and if you stay tuned a bit longer you'll hear Josh Reynolds' curious accent and some thoughts the DuneSteef staff had on adapting the story. You may want to cut your listening short at the point they ask for donations because after that they began pointless digressions into areas unsuitable for some listeners.
However, I highly recommend that you listen to this very cool adaption of Josh's story.
