Hi, I'm Nuke your host and editor, welcoming Speculative flash fiction lovers galaxy wide. This is the AntiSF Radio show for issue 173 of AntipodeanSF online, the place where speculative fiction belongs. And you and I will prove it.

Coming up on today's show are five fabulous flash stories from the not so usual suspects. Weave some story time with us while we take a look at horrific love, reveal a Revelation, delve into underbelly of intellectual property rights, discover the future of human skin, well sort of, and grow our gardens in space.

Eight rotations of the Earth on its axis. The AntiSF Radio show is just a little unsynchronised. Despite this, and through the drought, the stories win through. Hi, I'm Nuke, your host and editor, and this is the AntiSF Radio Show 172, featuring all of the stories from AntipodeanSF issue 172, plus some.

Stick with me now while we visit a porcelain battleground, pay for our wrongs under the full moon, suffer from the grass is greener syndrome over and over and over, have a bit of an astronomical accident, underestimate cuteness, realise that change is a balance, and get just a little bit too comfortable.

G'day from the antipodes. Welcome, aliens and humans all, and thanks for joining me for the AntiSF Radio Show, the program that brings you weird short speculative stories along with weird new music, with a good percentage of both genres sourced from right here in the antipodes, where everything is rightside-downside up.

This show features stories from AntipodeanSF issue 171, online in September 2012. AntipodeanSF, what's that? Well, simply, it's the place where speculative flash fiction belongs. So here you are. You're in the right place...

Oh, it's you. Here we are again, both of us listening to the Antisf radio show again. Just you and me. The fact of the matter is that we're both in for it now. It's time for stories, all of them flash, all of them from the latest issue of AntipodeanSF, the magazine that has now issued itself 170 times.
One hundred and seventy issues posted to the web. And things have changed some on the net since AntiSF Issue 1, posted in February 1998.
Nowadays, the internet is mainstream. It is no longer a geeky realm. More and more publications are switching to electronic versions, tailored to tablet and hand-held reading devices. Congrats to Cosmos Magazine, for example, for producing a stunning i-pad version. I'm hanging out for the android version now.
Anyway, If I think about my reading in the past year or so, many more virtual pages were turned on my android phone than were paper pages in physical books. It's just so easy to carry 3000 books.
So — many thanks to Mark Webb for taking on the mammoth task of putting together the e-pub version of AntiSF each month. This is now the fifth issue to be produced in e-pub, and it's looking strong. I've received rather more than a little feedback about how good it is to read AntipodeanSF in that format, and I'm reminded that stand-up comedian Suzanne Ingleton once quipped that AntiSF stories "are great for the loo". Well, with electronics there is no paper to put to another use after you've read a story, but the medium is just as good at motivating and communicating ideas — and that is what it's all about, wherever or whenever you and I happen to be.

Welcome, speculative fiction lovers, to a universe with the first ever non-directional field, the so-called Higgs, Boson fans, and welcome to a cosmos with gravity and gravitas. This is the AntiSF Radio Show 169, featuring all of the fiction from the pages of this month's AntipodeanSF magazine, done for you in audio. Wherever you are -- enjoying in your car, enjoying a probe, enjoying a problem, or skating on the surface of a sun -- this is speculative flash fiction down under where it belongs.
This show features nine flashes into the unknown and uncharted. What if is the question. What's not under question is that I'm Nuke, your host and editor, and I really think you ought to stick around for the next little while, turn down the electric lights, turn up the campfire, and hold hands with someone, or something, you love.
In this episode you'll hear about tooth fairies, replicating circus performers, multiple black holes, life creation, book magic, christmas in space, and more black holes. Did I mention that gravity sucks?

G'day fellow simians and welcome to the AntiSF Radio Show. I'm your host and editor, Nuke, and I have a somewhat changed show for you this time around. This very show will feature all ten of the stories from issue 168, including a longer story that is only available in audio and e-book format. Furthermore, future AntiSF radio shows will follow a simlar format. There will be only one show per month to match the online magazine, but you will often find single stories in the podcast of up to 2000 words by various AntiSF authors. That's it then, the wave of the future for at least a while. The new AntiSF radio show is more stories, less music, and less fluff. Meanwhile, writers, keep the speculative fiction coming. And don't forget, if you've not submitted a story to us before, now's the time to have a go. While it's not as easy as it sounds to write a 500 word story, I'm here to help you with that. AntiSF has a fantastic record of helping authors get their first publication, and many of those authors have gone on to have stories, anthologies and novels published commercially. AntiSF, however, maintains its non-commercial nature, and will never cost money to read or to hear. I'm a firm believer in community radio, open source, and creative commons licensing. Share and share alike.

AntipodeanSF Issue 168 in a format that is easy to download and read on your electronic device, including ipad, android tablet, mobile phone, and more.

Wherever you are, whatever you happen to be doing, I'm sure you're self-aware, sentient, and listening to this show, which happens to be the AntiSF RAdio Show, 167 Beta, featuring five fine short-short stories from Issue 167 of AntipodeanSF online. I'm Nuke, your sometimes explosive host and editor, and I'm here every fortnight with this show, broadcast on local community radio here in Australia on the Greatest Little Station in the Nation, 2NVR, and podcast to thousands of audio players around the world, or perhaps around the galaxy. In this show you'll hear "The Planet Catalogue" an excessively short piece, by Carinne Heidmann, a classic horror "The Shadow's Puppet" by Marianna Shek, Shivers at Midnight, by Erika Innes, "Blue Light" by Greg Reeves, and "Millie D" by Kendra "Purple Skinner".
