First, for a podcast that only seems to comes out twice a month you leave an extremely disappointed audience when you keep us waiting this long for the next part of a long story.
While I consider Victoria to be a very interesting story, I was less impressed by this story which seems to have been intended for children (which is also the reason I do not listen to clonepod). I have no objection to childrens stories, but you might want to let the audience know this is what they should expect before you begin.

why are you dropping the rest of the episodes ?
I have read “Victoria” and enjoyed it, Unfortunately I can’t say the same for the narration and pronunciation of some of the rather “English” words such as privy and a number of others that ground past my ears on listening to
this podcast.
As I am from the Antipodean colonies I would be happy to volunteer to narrate
All in All a pretty good job !

I can hear Chris finding his narration voice, but overall, aside from the stories themselves, I have to say that everything sounds a little hastily thrown together. The levels are off, the transitions are not fluid. I don’t know what you’re using to edit, but Audacity is a fantastic tool. After watching a brief tutorial on their site, I was able to put together my own little podcast novel which has thus far been only for a few close friends.
You already have some other great podcasters helping you out. Pip Ballantine springs to mind. I wouldn’t be shy in asking for advice. I love Steampunk as a genre, and I sppreciate what you’re doing here, but it doesn’t feel like it’s growing. It feels like it might be gasping for breath. Just want to offer some constructive criticism. Perhaps I’m the only one bothered by it. Could be I’m a nit-picky jerk. Thought I’d share.

Wasn’t a huge fan of this story. It didn’t go anywhere interesting.
@Phileus Nope, I agree, and also in a respectful way. Needs some work.
