I listen to podcasts several times a week, usually while running, and grade them by how much I forget that I'm running. I'm not that fit, and running hurts. If I'm lucky one podcast will distract me for the whole thirty or forty minutes. If I'm not, my mind constantly wanders and my legs ache twice as much. Occasionally, I'll hit a story that makes me wish my run was longer. This is one of those stories.
Now it's no secret that I'm a sucker for well-told tales of the Islamic Golden Age in general and Saladin Ahmed's writing in particular. This story's basically a deconstruction of several characters in Spencer's Faerie Queen. It's a blast, and you should go check it out.
