Short fiction that takes you everywhere—from distant worlds to dark dungeons

Nebula Award nominee Jake Kerr presents a new short story twice a week in this stunning fiction podcast that runs the gamut of the best genre fiction, from fantasy to science fiction and from touching drama to laugh-out-loud humor. Kerr, who spent years as a radio station disk jockey, narrates the stories himself and includes thoughtful commentary on why he wrote the stories and what they mean to him.
