Welcome to Ad Astral

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:00:00 +0000

Ad Astral presents the short science fiction stories of DJ Burnham in a quarterly podcast. Over time we hope to bring you tales from the near and distant future, as well as alien worlds and alternative realities, from the commonplace to the downright weird. We also plan to have some guest voice actors and to attempt to conjure up some entertaining audio environments in which to place the stories.

Sci-Fi Online said that the stories are reminiscent of the best sci-fi short stories written in the nineteen fifties and sixties.
