The BBC's Radio SciFi season is coming to an end on Listen Again.

Don't have time to write up too much, but I just wanted say there's only too days left to listen to Cry Babies by Kim Newman.

Takes the idea of cryogenically freezing an embryo to a ridiculous extreme, and in the process asks some important questions, while having a protagonist I really empathise with.

As the ignoble awards put it in their motto "first it makes you laugh, then it makes you think". Just what I want from an SF short.

I found Kim also used it as a device for taking hops forward through time.

Amusing how the 'ideal' family chopped and changed every time she woke up.
