For supporters of the BCS Patreon, here is an exclusive early download of a new episode of our ancillary podcast The BCS Audio Vault. The BCS Audio Vault features past stories from the BCS Audio Fiction Podcast with a new introduction by an author or narrator.

BCS Audio Vault 038 is “A Portrait of the Desert in Personages of Power” by R.B. Lemberg, from BCS #229 back in 2017, a special five-hour audio novella that was episode 200 of the BCS Audio Fiction Podcast, guest-narrated by C.S.E. Cooney.

It’s introduced by the author, talking about elements of the Birdverse setting and the novella and its characters, one of whom is a main character in R.B.’s new Birdverse novel, The Unbalancing, out in September from Tachyon Publications.
