Promo: The Flash Pulp Podcast (http://flashpulp.com) – An incredible series of pulp-style stories told over a multiverse of styles and often inter-related characters. It comes out frequently and always engages. I started listening last year at episode 1, and have crested over episode 300 this year. I’m still looking forward to every episode, and will relish the day I’ve caught up — right up to the point I realize I have to start waiting for episodes! Listen and enjoy!
