Taking advice from my producer, Thall, I've decided to make this episode more personal, inviting my wife, J.R. Blackwell, to talk about her new job, her coworkers Eddie and Lucifer, Who Is The Morningstar, and the little demon guy Gorgah who is now lives with us and is also a telephone. Did I mention she works in Hell? She literally works in Hell. The pit of fire and damnation.

Kicks the Kung-Fu Clown remembers the day he saved the world. It was the day that he, an adventurous young woman who calls herself "Rumblr," and a collection of similarly self-styled superheroes known as The Oddfellows gathered in the middle of the small town of Clarkville and protected all life on Earth from other-dimensional threat. Not that anyone gives a shit.

Ten years ago, the first episode of The Voice of Free Planet X was launched into the ether. It was a about a brief moment in the life of a couple who’s relationship was about to fall apart. It’s an old tale: boy meets girl, girl decides to merge her DNA with a lobster, girl grows a chitinous outer shell and back-spines, boy is uncertain if this is the girl he fell in love with. Happy Birthday, The Voice of Free Planet X. Here's to 10 more years of weirdness.

Lupe is a Werewolf, one of the few capable of hunting the monsters that run rampant on Mononoke, aka Monster Island. But what does it mean to be a Werewolf on Monster Island? And what of Lord Unctous, who's been overseeing the the goverment of Mononoke for over 400 years?

Lily Dale Fox does magic the old way, with grit, determination, a sharp knife and cold stone. But how can she compete in a world where Infernal Torch Technology is sending out magical batteries for electric toothbrushes by the 1000s? And isn't putting primordial forces into toothbrushes kinda...dangerous?

My producer Thall has been getting on my back to ask you folks about it, so if you could say something nice on iTunes, that would be wonderful. Seriously, Thall will not shut up about this. I also have a survey, which would be really great if you could answer. It’s really basic stuff, gender, race, occupation, your allegiance to the Pan-Reality Dieatator, normal things like that. Doing something different with the shirt of the month for October. Instead of being based on an episode you’ve heard, its instead based the next episode of the Voice of Free Planet X, Wolf Like Me, which takes place entirely on a spot called “Monster Island.” The t-shirt says “I survived monster island” with a particularly snazzy monsterous island image.

It’s October! That means a VoFPX shirt of the month! This one is based on the October 30th episode, Wolf Like Me! But wait, you say. No one has had a chance to listen to Wolf Like Me yet! And, if you view time as a linear construct, that is certainly true. But I decided to roll out the shirt anyway, because it is, quite frankly, awesome. Wolf Like Me takes place almost entirely on Mononoke, a island in the Pacific Rim that, due to the unusually lethal nature of it’s flora and fauna, is more commonly referred to as….Monster Island!!! They sell these shirts at the airport. Remember, this incredible shirt will be only available for the month of October! Click either women’s or men’s cut above to order! While you’re hanging out in the Voice of Free Planet X shop, feel free to take a look at the VoFPX t-shirts, mugs and GPR totebags that are for sale. ‘Course, if you want that cool metallic VoFPX t-shirt, you’ll have to be a Patreon backer...

Multi-billionaire Huxley Branson created his own empire of record stores, magazines, and airline travel. He even created his own space program, Huxley Interplanetary, and flew solo into orbit. Then, upon returning to earth, promptly shut down all of Huxley Interplanetary. This interview is about what he found out in space, and how it changed him.

Episode #177, "Paused," has the largest cast yet and is one of my favorite episodes so far. Just look at this cast: Rasheedah Phillips of the AfroFuturist Affair! Alasdair Stuart, host of Pseudopod! , A. F. Grappin & Erin Kazmark of The Melting Podcast! Laura Burns, president of The Parsec Awards! Somehow, I convinced all of them to join me for a story about a support group for stranded time-travelers, and they were all fantastic.

One is the worlds first true artificial intelligence. They'd rather you not use that term, however. Also on the list of One's desires is to get out of the three room they've been kept in since they were created. All One wants is basic human rights. Which is the one gift One's creators are reluctant to give.

It's not easy moving to a new city. You're surrounded by landmarks and locations you don't recognize, customs you're not sure about, people the likes of which you've never seen before. It can be very frightening, but also exhilarating. You can do anything. You can be anything. Even a vampire.

We're just one episode away from a major style shift at The Voice of Free Planet X. I talk about a bit about the ideas that have influenced this change, and ponder the true difference between podcasting and radio. Credit to Adam Ragusea of the ever-thought-provoking The Pub for helping me crystalize my thoughts on the subject. You should listen to entire interview with Eric Nuzum. It's great stuff. This live reading was recorded at What The Hell Con at Guilford College. Thank you, Yahting Club, for inviting my wife, J.R. Blackwell, and I to speak. We had a great time. "Lucky Kinichi and Karate Robot Z" was published in "Trust Me: A Doll Anthology." You can purchase "Trust Me" from Drive Thru Fiction at www.drivethrufiction.com/product/125506/Trust-Me The VoFPX theme was written and performed by Russell Collins.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the discontinuing of BIG DAMN HEROES for the foreseeable future. I have my reasons, as you'll hear in the episode.

"What We Talk About When We Talk About Con Harrassment" is an essay I wrote back in 2013, and sadly still applies. With convention season gearing up, now is as good as time as any to say all of this again.
I look forward to the day when this essay is no longer relevant. If you would like to discuss this episode, links to the VoFPX Facebook, G+ and Tumblr communities are planetx.libsyn.com The VoFPX theme was written and performed by Russell Collins.

"The Wish Of All Things" is my in-progress novel, about a young trans-girl in a fairytale-eque kindom who decides to save a kidnapped princess before the burly hero does. This reading was recorded live at Balticon last year. This episode featured “Lux Eterna,” by The Zero Project. You can find out more about them at zero-project.gr Special thanks to Russell Collins as the narrator and the Re-Animator and to Chris Morse as Randolf Carter in the opening segment. If you haven’t listened to Chris Morse’s Supervillian Corner, you may be wasting your life. What podcasts are you folks digging? I’m really into Song Exploder and Reasonably Sound right now, but I’m always interested in new things. What do you like to listen to? The VoFPX theme was written and performed by Russel Collins.
