i have been listening to these stories to fall asleep to every night for the last 7 years, and kate baker's beautiful mellifluous voice is the only thing that has ever cured my lifelong insomnia. not that the stories are boring!!! just soothing to listen to. i love the wide range of stories, and especially the incredible scifi coming out of china recently. please never stop the podcast!!!

Listening to the stories while I drive or take a lunch break is a nice mental vacation. I don’t know if they changed their sound recording techniques recently, but the last episode seems to have much better audio quality. Keep up the great work!

Kate Baker’s narrations are simply superb. I just listened to her read The Coffee Machine. Her various voices were so fun to listen to. This has become my weekly go-to podcast. It’s great to see Clarkesworld continue to publish fascinating stories.

Love the show and Kate is great narrating. I really appreciate that they feature a lot of women authors. Great stories.
