Ahhh Hazel I love Lem's works!
The Cyberiad and The Futurological Congress are my two favs :~
Similarly excellent in the dept. of sci-fi short stories is Ted Chiang. Less humor though, but magnificent stories and concepts. Villeneuve's Arrival was based on his short 'Story of Your Life'

I've been enjoying a popular D&D podcast called The Adventure Zone. The latest campaign, which follows the truly weird stories of three almost ordinary people in West Virginia, concluded in a satisfying finale this week. I recommend the whole series as one of the best podcasts yet recorded.
Not to hijack the thread, but I haven't introduced myself. I'm Bradley. I'm a recent transplant from southern Maine to northern Virginia, along with my girlfriend and our cat. I work in Washington during the week and often enjoy a good podcast (see above) or tinkering with one or another open source project on the weekend. I'm also a licensed Private Pilot.

What’s some media you’ve been enjoying lately? Don’t worry if it’s mainstream or lowbrow or a guilty pleasure. Anything’s fine. What are you enjoying?
