One thing struck me: the name “Gutierrez”. Same name as the President in “Contagious”, and also the same name as the brother of the protagonist in “Archangel”. Quite a popular hispanic name in podcasts, apparently, and that made me kind of curious. Googling the name turned up a variety of hits, and since it means “Son of Gutierre”, I suppose it’s just a really common name overall. Then again, perhaps there’s this really cool dude named “Gutierrez” who inspires writers to use his name in their fiction?

Thanks for the stories!

Good call by the above commenter on the anthology show references, although this strikes me more like a late 60’s Twilight Zone. I could see Burgess Meredith dealing in this game. In any case, Anne’s really come into her own as an author. Between this and her offering in SPACE GRUNTS you can really see a genre-crossing badass scribe emerging.

Incredible writing by Anne! (though I’d loved to have heard more about ‘The Ohio Kid) Throughout, the voice work by Ian is capable, convincing and clever. (especially after a highly recommended repeated listening!)
“Penny” is on par with a really great episode of an ‘Outer Limits’ or a ‘Tales From the Crypt’ which to fans of the genre, should speak volumes. Kudos guys. Nice implementation of Digital Juice’s audio library too!

Thanks, we like this one too. Ian is one of our favorite voices, and of course, we like Anne’s writing.
