Podcasts from Pat Murphy and Carol Emshwiller's SF in SF readings

Rina Weisman of Tachyon Publications has posted the links to several podcasts done at the SF in SF reading I went to on 6/21 -- with Pat Murphy and Carol Emshwiller.

I was really interested to hear the interview parts which we in the audience only vaguely overheard at the event.
The interviewer asked Pat some good questions about The City Not Long After and her process of writing that and wandering around San Francisco dreaming it up, and about Wild Girls. Yay!

It's also quite fun to listen to Pat's story again - I was just drinking it in when I first heard it and didn't realize I would get to hear it again.

The part about the fairy meetings at the fictional toy company are just hilarious and I can hear myself laughing again in the background on the podcast, almost.

"my fairies wear clothing of tanned mouse leather...they are grimy, hardscrabble fairies..."

(I remember when I heard that line initially, I picked up on the word hardscrabble, since Hassler had his "hardscrabble girls".)

aargh! The ending in the middle again!
