How am I supposed to decide between buttery Snipe goodness and delicious Iwa Typhoon surprise. Then, throw in some spicy Passenger pate and Chocolate Kissyman ...
Argh, I love them all. To paraphrase an old advertising campaign. Read all you want, He'll write more.
This one is my favorite. Just imagine the possible future story lines.
He lived on, and for a time, helped a government where industrial genocide was performed.
He becomes disgusted with racial hatred fueled mass murder, and yet he lives in a place and time where there is truckloads of racial tension.
He has an accent that identifies him coming from a country where the nazis that did a great evil not long ago, and there must me a lot of people that lost relatives that resent and distrust him.
The red scare and paranoia is brewing slowly.
He is was so out there, that even other SS officers where disturbed by him.
Survivors might be hunting him to make him pay.
Sometimes he laughs so hard when he is about to finish off some one, that he actually endangers his own life.
Of all of them, I liked Red Man the most. I can see society reaching that point within the next couple of hundred years. (I'm being optimistic on that, a few decades may be closer to the truth.)
Come to think of it, the Mt. Fitzroy preview is also up there, though I try not to think about it too much (the pains of EarthCrack withdrawal being too much).

I totally second that vote. The only reason Red Man doesn't win outright is that there is not much plot there - it is really an idea/character piece (and a spectacular one at that!) but there is no active conflict. The Great Snipe Hunt was just a rollicking great yarn, from start to finish. The simple audaciousness of the "eliminations" were inspired.
I liked it too, it was very small in nature compared to some of the other ones... I know that sounds weird, but it's the only way I can think of to describe it... It was well done, but not fleshed out like his other stories, made the pacing seem a bit off...

Tough choice as they were all great. Kissyman if I had to pick one.Bring on the sequel!!
Sacred Cow would be close but was it a Bloodcast? I guess not it wasn't bloody.
Passenger would be next best kinda reminds me of Serenity valley battle.
Wolf? Did I miss one?

Ach, du lieber, Kissyman; he survived the surreal life as a Nazi drone. Now he has the skills of a stone-cold killer and a dawning realization that there are, in fact, ethics to consider. Well, maybe he'll consider them, and maybe he won't. It's hard to know when he's as psychotic as Sigler. Its kind of like playing Russian roulette...on the eastern front; imported for your pleasure to the good ol' US of A!
It's like picking a favorite child. They are all so different, and good in their own way! I guess if I had to narrow it down, I'd go with Iowa Typhoon because it was such an interesting story, and you really didn't know where it was going until you were deep into it. My other fav is Bag Man, I think I really liked it because the kid was just so darn polite!
I do have trouble picking my favorite out of all the kickass stories in the Bloodcast, but Passenger just had too much for me to not put it on the top of my "Why I'm a Junkie" list. Honestly, where else can you get far future technology, some white-knuckle action, zombie-esque cannabalism, and buckets of gore? Thats right, no-F#@$ing-where.
It's a terribly tough choice to make, but I have to say The Passenger really drew me in and had me jonesing for the conclusion. You really nailed the military feel on this story. The sound effects were pretty tight this time, too.

I would probably pick Iowa Typhoon. For a short story, it had it all... The snipe hunt was really cool, but somewhat formulaic and didn't really have that many surprises or a real twist ending. Red Man was really cool too, but I got more WTF impressions off of Iowa Typhoon. Also mentioned above, Indiana Jim was perfect for the reading...
This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken
Red Man rocked for it's dystopian feel, as well as it's "Life of David Gale" you-got-the-wrong-guy'edness. This was not a story, but a documentary of the future.
Kissyman rocked for it's World War II spy noir type feel, from the spun out nazi perspective.
But my !!!FAVORITE!!! was snipe hunt, because I could actually see those little bastards running around. Not SEE see, but imagine. Great story.
Iowa Typhoon takes the cake for me. It was a great story, and a great decision by Scott to NOT read it. Indiana Jim had that something "special" that made the story much more real, and in a way I don't think Sigler could portray. Great story, great listen. I waited and waited to listen to that one because it didn't sound all that interesting, but I was as wrong as could be.
Passenger rocked.
Snipe Hunt was great...
Kissyman.... classic.
I'd go for Passenger...
for no overly good reason over the others that its newest...

I have to say that Snipe Hunt was my favourite.
Most of the other BloodCasts were quick, bloody and to the point. Snipe Hunt, IMHO, shows Siggie thinking and working to tie in people from Real Life, who a lot of people know, incorporate some of their mannerisms into a story and still weave his dark genius around them.
Priceless. Well, actually... free... so totally without price.

The Passenger is my favorite so far. Just imagining eating raw human flesh against my will gave me the chills. Plus I thought the flashback mechanic kept it intriguing.
Dug it big time. A little different, but Sigler is showing us he is not a one trick pony.
Iowa Typhoon was cool as well, nice build up, you knew something was a little off, not just because it was a Sigler story, and then he brought it home.

I have to agree with tha majority..Snipe Hunt was my favorite. Scared the pants right off me! As a matter of fact, I still haven't found those damn pants....SIGGGLLLEERRR!!!
I think that Kissyman was one of the better ones for the implications and along with Red Man.
some of the things with the Passenger really freaked me out. I was listening to it during a work out and when he started talking about how you don't think of moving your arm it just happens. I don't know but it was a very surreal moment that I enjoyed, even though it freaked the shit out of me.

My favorite bloodcasts include:
The Passenger (eventhough it hasn't been completed yet) - I just love sci-fi military stuff.
Snipe Hunt - This came out of no where for me. Fantastic concept.
Wolf - Very unique.
Redman - I love the world painted here. It felt quite real.
Bagman - Really creepy.

so far passengers is my faveorite, then kissyman but really theyre all good. I wated all summer to start on the bloodcasts because I was in the middle of a few other books and to help me make it between SCOTTS books...I see how well thats worked!
I'd have to agree with that. It was a great question to ask" "Where do prayers go?" and he gave us a very Sigler answer. That is the perfect way to for strangerthings to start out their vidcast, and it got me hooked on them.

Kissyman has lots of potential
This one is my favorite. Just imagine the possible future story lines.
He lived on, and for a time, helped a government where industrial genocide was performed.
He becomes disgusted with racial hatred fueled mass murder, and yet he lives in a place and time where there is truckloads of racial tension.
He has an accent that identifies him coming from a country where the nazis that did a great evil not long ago, and there must me a lot of people that lost relatives that resent and distrust him.

He is was so out there, that even other SS officers where disturbed by him.
Survivors might be hunting him to make him pay.
Sometimes he laughs so hard when he is about to finish off some one, that he actually endangers his own life.
The detective noir feeling is pretty cool.
Red Man
Of all of them, I liked Red Man the most. I can see society reaching that point within the next couple of hundred years. (I'm being optimistic on that, a few decades may be closer to the truth.)
Come to think of it, the Mt. Fitzroy preview is also up there, though I try not to think about it too much (the pains of EarthCrack withdrawal being too much).

Hmmm
Am I the only one that loved
Am I the only one that loved Number One with a Bullet? Mixing the NFL with sci-fi cults and monsters made for
one crazy sick story. However, it is pretty impossible, all of the bloodcasts are amazing!
Nah, you're not alone...
