EscapePod, episode 990, The Malcontent by Sarah Ely. Flashback Friday. Hi everybody, welcome to EscapePod, the science fiction podcast. I'm Alistair, your host,

and this week's story originally appeared on April 20th, 2006. It is the second stop on our year-long tour through some of the big numbers

the skate pod has hit during its 20-year to-date voyage, and this time the story is both

written and hosted by Sarah Ely. Sarah Ely is a chaos spirit who first appeared in 2013 from

the right cerebral hemisphere of a former podcaster named Steve Ely is a chaos spirit who first appeared in 2013 from the right cerebral hemisphere

of a former podcaster named Steve Ely.

Best known as the founding editor and host of Escape Pod with the famous sign-off, Have Fun,

Steve realized he was having more fun as Sarah, and gave her the body for transition and

general mayhem.

Now much prettier than Steve, and at least 70%

weirder, Sarah lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her spouse, Sadie, and collects stories too

fantastic to be fiction. If you ask nicely, she may even tell some of them. Very nicely.

Your narrator this week is Paul S. Jenkins. Paul could be described as a podcast

pioneer, hosting the long-since-pod faded rev-up review from 2005. Since then, he has narrated

for EscapePod, Podcastle and Sudapod, has written and published a number of short stories,

and is currently settling into his new status as gentlemen of leisure.
