Episode 16 of AE Reads Skiffily features the longest story to date. Why, this might take two car trips to the store to listen to! This episode’s story is “The Children of Crèche” by #JamesAlanGardner, which won Grand Prize in the 1989 #WritersoftheFuture contest. In this story, an art critic comes to a startling realization when he goes to a planet of childless artists. As I’ve been doing this year, the promotional image for this episode riffs off of a popular movie or show that is somehow related to the story. I chose “Children of Men” since both the movie and this story show a future society without children. You can even swipe right to see the original poster art from the movie. That’s easier than expecting you to Google the poster art of a movie from 12 years ago. AE Reads Skiffily is a podcast featuring #sciencefiction and #soundeffects.
