Podcasts

Podcasts. Voice-over actor. Narrator. Podcaster. Oooh, the latter sounds mystical, call me that! You’ll find this podcaster on a busy street corner, First and Main, holding up a sign: WILL READ FOR MONEY. Or food. Food’s good. Make that pepperoni pizza, extra cheese. NO anchovies, what’s wrong with you people???

I’ve won a lot of awards in public speaking. By a lot, I mean an embarrassing amount of a lot–picture one of those school trophy cases for the jocks, but then put my name on all of them. And then, picture a second one. To keep me humble, for ten years I donated my time conducting a free class one evening a week, designed to help people improve their public speaking and ability to communicate. Pitch, pace, and power…without fear, without fail, and without fumbling. There, you’ve learned everything you need to know, and you didn’t have to pay the price of admission. Which was free.

I’m a professional voice actor and have produced works for Hugo Award winners and bestselling authors like Mike Resnick, Jeff Wheeler, and Will McIntosh. I am podcast director at Future Science Fiction Digest and have narrated many episodes, including  Lawrence Schoen’s  “The Rule of Three,” that became a 2018 Nebula novelette finalist.

If you’ve got an audio project and you’ve read my sign, drop me a line, and yeah, that rhymed. Here’s a few samples to whet your appetite. Enjoy.

“Sophies Parisian Stationery and Parfumerie Magnifique.” Narrated by Wulf Moon

Here’s a present for all of you! The award-winning 24-hour story I wrote at Writers of the Future, published in THINGS WITH FEATHERS: STORIES OF HOPE by Third Flatiron. I was hired to do the voice-over. Free to listen, just click the link!
Here’s the review in SFCrowsnest: “‘Sophie’s Parisian Stationery & Parfumerie Magnifique’ by Wulf Moon was damn good, too. Machines have killed most humans but one bad guy left, with a shotgun, moseys into Hollywood and attacks the AI run shops and entertainment venues that are still there. All they want is to please customers. An original idea and well-handled.”
Come hear what I sweat bullets to write under the gun in Hollywood in twenty-four hours!

“The Mike Resnick Tribute Podcast.” A collection of stories by Mike Resnick. Narrated by Wulf Moon.

I had heard many great things about Mike Resnick. He was one of the judges that voted on my Writers of the Future Contest winner, and I so wanted to thank him in person. Alas, he fell ill that year and my chance to meet him never happened–Mike passed away. I made a proposal to my editor at Future Science Fiction Digest to do a tribute podcast of Mike Resnick’s stories published in our magazine.

I immediately got the green light.

Rest In Peace, Mike Resnick. Your legacy will always live on.

“Tideline Treasures” by Tais Teng and Jaap Boekestein. Narrated by Wulf Moon.

This story is an excellent example of Future Science Fiction Digest’s translations from international science fiction. It comes from the Netherlands and is a sample of ziltpunk. Never heard of it? Take a listen and explore a unique subgenre of science fiction pioneered by these authors! I’m using the Future SF issue cover for this one…it’s just gorgeous!

“On the Path” written by Kelly A. Harmon. Narrated by Wulf Moon.

Published by Gallery of Curiosities June 2018. This was a fun assignment–I made up many voices for Kelly’s great cast of characters, and these Taoist priests are very tricksy! Silkpunk!

“The Questionable Redemption of Thomas Alva Edison” written by Evan Dicken. Narrated by Wulf Moon.

Published by Gallery of Curiosities July 2018. This was an interesting assignment. The story is alternate history in the form of a wax cylinder, recording a confession by Thomas Edison to his wife. The editor asked me to mimic Edison’s speaking style by listening to his recordings. Check out the result. If you don’t have a wax cylinder player, one shall be provided.

A special edition developed for H.P. Lovecraft month. Gallery of Curiosities called me in for a special release for a Lovecraft convention. Don’t cry, there will be pie.  And tentacled creatures, falling from the sky.
