I'm sorry, but I am not a fan of this story myself. I only wish I had deleted it instead of trying to trooper on to the end, and this is the first story I have even come close to having that sort of negative opinion on. This story is a perfect example as to why I avoid conventions, and why so many people have such a bad opinion of fantasy fiction as a whole. Too many "too clever" inside-jokes that are just too precious. Stuff like this tarnishes the authors of a good bit of fantasy fiction like "The Grand Cheat" or "Fourteen Experiments in Postal Delivery" in the public eye because they all get tarred with the same brush.

This is the note our managing editor sent me on the problem: Libsyn has apparently stopped serving files via the web page or the feed. I can FTP to ftp.libsyn.com just fine. But trying to grab files isn't working -- we get a 0-byte file from the download links, the flash player reports an error, and the WordPress posting interface can't auto detect anything about a file sitting on Libsyn's server.

(I have worked with rescue Border Collies, who often have the same issue.) Out of curiosity -- I live in Tewksbury, MA, and there is a Waffle House here. Is the placement there of an invisible Dunwich Horror significant, or just chosen at random? :) Charming!

I am a journalism major, so I think the idea of a fake newspaper article is pretty clever. My one gripe is that newspaper articles are written in a different style than radio and TV news stories. I think this story would look great in print, but could have been rewritten for more of a radio style for this podcast. I really liked this story.
