Podcasting legend Mur Lafferty has just launched "Earth," the third series in her "Heaven" podiobook. I was privileged to have Mur as a writing student at the Viable Paradise workshop last year (applications for this year's workshop are due on the 30th!), and I was impressed by her writing. Turns out, she's also a great performer, creating engaging, funny, and engrossing podcast-native fiction.
Heaven is a series of existential stories that recount the afterlives of two friends who die at the final trump on Earth, and are carried to heaven, then hell, and now -- Earth again. The characters are extremely likable, their problems engaging, and the scenarios are inventive, strange and compelling.
Podiobooks are free audiobooks, delivered as weekly podcasts to your podcatcher. Podiobooks creates a unique feed for you, starting with the first episode, so that it doesn't matter when the book started podcasting, you get to begin with part one. They solicit donations to pay the authors and their staff. There's plenty of great stuff there to enjoy, and Lafferty's books are a great entree to the concept.
