One minor correction. It’s actually not me reading my story on Beam Me Up, but the show’s host. I’m not actually appearing on the show.
But I am on The Chronic Rift.
Thanks for the correction, Michael. It’s fixed, now.
And they now have a direct link up for the description of the episode of The Chronic Rift on which I am a guest: http://www.chronicrift.com/node/426
