Dear Listeners,

Stay tuned … we have a couple handfuls of new short stories in production, and for terrestrial radio stations, we’ve nearly completed a pair of fresh half hour shows. Our new, as yet to be named, five minute poetry segment is growing a back-list before we release the series this summer. Each segment is exactly five minutes long and features the work of a single poet.

I’d also like to draw your attention to our most recent publication, a short story from Seattle based writer Alexander Ziperovich. The story is significant in that Alex is the first short story author on our site to read their own work. I am excited say that we will bring you the voices of more authors this year …

Thank you for listening …
