As Electronic Editions Editor for TTA Press, it is with great pleasure that I introduce Transmissions From Beyond: The TTA Press Podcast.

Transmissions From Beyond is the first podcast in the world by a major magazine publisher, offering short stories from the pages of its magazines in the following genres: science fiction & fantasy, horror, and crime. These come from Interzone, Black Static, and Crimewave both past and present.

The premiere of our podcast on Monday, 4 August 2008, offers three Transmissions. There’s one from each of our magazines. We lead off with a story from Interzone 212 called “The Algorithm” by Tim Akers, read by John Berlyne.

 There’s also a brand new forum for the podcast where you can discuss the stories and anything you’d like to say about our podcasts.

 So what are you waiting for?  Grab your headphones and head over to Transmissions From Beyond.
