INTERPLANETARY PODCAST EP 06 - I Hate Martian Girls

"...A lump of scientifically engineered silicon, wire and plastic sat stoic on the sill. Its telescoping eye stared eerily at me catching the reflection of my hand. I felt relieved when it didn’t jump or wriggle or squirm in my grasp, it was just sterile piece of cold plastic in my hands. Thumbing the power button, the device sprung to life for a nano before fading again, “Low Battery” flashing in red before everything disappeared. I sighed aloud..."

"...He shrugged and picked up one of the whole squid-things with a pair of chopsticks and stuck it in his mouth headfirst. Upon biting into it, its tendrils began to move and wriggle, and in shock and disgust John spit out the living creature. He then received similar looks of shock and disgust from around the table, but at the taste he he left in everyone’s mouths. ‘I-I’ve got weak teeth,’ he came up with quickly, but no one bought it.

“Afterwards, I took John aside and scolded him about rejecting their food. Told him no matter how vile or disgusting of a spread he had to treat it like it was the most tender delicacy he had ever put to his pallet. ‘We gotta prove to these guys that Earthlings aren’t tasteless, uncultured insects,’ I recall saying.

“Well, I also I recall making the mistake of inviting Jon to come with me to Venus. ..."

INTERPLANETARY PODCAST EP 08 - Interplanetary Cuisine

"... I continue to find amusement in the way smokers are viewed by the inhabitants of Mars. Ask anyone who lives elsewhere and they’ll agree: that whole world has to be smoking something! If there’s anything I remember about my image of Martians from my childhood it’s that they smoke like chimneys. I mean tobacco cigis and otherwise, as Cannabis Iapetus is practically legal on this planet. Since the turn of the century, and the Martian Green Rush, there’s been legislation in the works to treat the herb like alcohol in terms of sale, tax and penalty for possession. I would be lying if I said the availability of such green grass on Mars didn’t sway my decision to move here. ..."

INTERPLANETARY PODCAST EP 09 - No Bugs

"...     When I regain consciousness I’m handcuffed to a chair in a foreign concrete corridor. I can’t see the plastic binders wound around my wrists but I can feel them cutting in to my soft skin. I smell like liquor and bile. I don’t know where I am or how I got here, but I’m speaking. I’m halfway through reciting my address to a grizzled uniform disinterestedly taking my words down on his requisite paperwork.

“It was pretty sly of you trying to sneak by me wearing a different top,” the hardened old officer snarls sarcastically, “but you didn’t fool me for a nano. You should thank your friends for bringing you back in so you could go to jail,” ..."

INTERPLANETARY PODCAST EP 10 - Caravans to Cuffed Hands

"...All are important indications one has come down with Amazonication.

I, of course, suppose myself a severe victim of the terrible affliction for years. But no matter how long I’ve been carrying this disease, or how good my ability to assimilate culture and adapt to my surroundings are, I could never become a local Amazonian. I’ve tried, they won’t let me. It’s a tight clique.

But just because I don’t qualify for membership in their cosmo club it doesn’t mean that I can’t still take my position in the race for the Martian Dream. There’s a slot reserved for anyone daring enough to try to find a new life on Mars. ..."

INTERPLANETARY PODCAST EP 11 - The Thing with Amazonians

"...I spent the last day in my brand new home carrying all of my possessions out of it. Luckily our neighbors had agreed to let us keep our stuff in their garage until we could find new places to live, so it was a short trip down the flight of stairs–but like everything, I had to do it on my own. It’s only fitting though, that the captain go down with his ship. I surveyed the damage one last time, the rooms barren and fresh as the day we moved in 2  months ago. I stepped back, tipping my hat to emptiness and locked up, closing the door on this chapter of my life..."

INTERPLANETARY PODCAST EP 12 - Women are like Lighters

"...Somewhere along the lines, probably because of everyone being incessantly instructed on incorrect use, people got even dumber. Or so it would seem with today’s disclaimers. A sleeping aid that warns you it may cause drowsiness. An in-flight pack of peanuts that reminds you it contain nuts. A superhero costume that notifies you it doesn’t award it’s user the power to fly. There’s even an iron that suggests you don’t wear the clothes while you’re pressing them..."
