Making the Cut continues with Chapter One! Meet Daniel Sharabi, a teenage member of the Psi Collective who has everything going for him — everything, that is, except his telepathic talent, which is mediocre at best.

Stumble it!
Hey! Happy New Year and thanks for including “Revenant Living” in episode 008!
I am very much enjoying the exploration of Metamor City, and I can second the comment about greedy fans.
Thanks for the tour.
Metamorphs… Good name. Glad I suggested it back in the comments…
Great fiction, Looking forward to Making the Cut.
G’day Chris!
Metamor City is incredible! The universe you have created is, well…
I have been addicted to 7th Son since somewhere near the middle of book one. With 7th Son having just come to its amazing conclusion, I was looking forward to losing the darn monkey on by back. Thanks for replacing it with The Curse!
I only wish that, like the City, Metamor City Podcast had come with a warning.
Warning, all who enter, or listen, here will forever have their life altered!
In my usual tardy fashion, I would like to propose a few more fan names:
Meta Moron - It just has a nice ring to it.
Meta Monkey - We are performing at your will.
The Cursed - My personal favorite. After all, I do have an affliction now.
A really sweet holiday episode. Really captures the mood of the season and the prologue rawks! Now I’ll be gnashing my teeth until the 13th when I can devour the first chapter.
I may be in the minority, but I kinda liked Meta-minions. With a podcast this good, you deserve minions.
Keep up the great work, I’ll be out here listening!
Meta-minions would be cool, and Metamorphs certainly acceptable, but there is something about Metamorons that appeals to my snarky nature.
How ’bout MetamorCitizens?
I can’t wait for 1/13/2008.
Well, I mean, I have to, and all, but it’ll be hard.
