S4 Ep7: Special Delivery & How the Pooka Came to New York

Kaleidocast

Special Delivery by Carlos Delgado, Read by Wilson Fowlie A Guatemalan delivery driver struggling to make it in a climate change affected Brooklyn where the fantastic is one cyber skin away, makes a delivery that goes very badly very quickly. Carlos Luis Delgado is a Brooklyn-based speculative fiction writer and editor. As a member of BSFW, he also leads workshops and writing classes. He's been previously published as part of My Father's Files, a mystery horror podcast. This is his second publication. How the Pooka Came to New York by Delia Sherman, Read by Wilson Fowlie A pooka, a mythical creature from Ireland, immigrates to America in the early 20th century, tricked and magically bound to a boy that, like all immigrants, is more than he seems. Delia Sherman is the author of numerous short stories and novels for both adults and younger readers, somewhere in the historical-fantastical-comical-romantic-feminist vein. She is or has been a teacher, an editor, a member of the Otherwise Award Motherboard, a co-founder of the Interstitial Arts Foundation, a judge of literary awards, a book store clerk, a gardener, a knitter, a cook, a traveler, and a flaming liberal. She lives in New York with fellow-writer Ellen Kushner and is working on an Endless Historical Novel. Wilson Fowlie lives in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada and has been reading aloud since the age of 4. His life has changed recently: he lost his wife to cancer, and he changed jobs, from programming to recording voiceovers for instructional videos, which he loves doing, but not as much as he loved Heather.
