4. Short Tales

This podcast features a new story on the first of every month, written and read by me, Damian Robb. I mostly write genre stories -- supernatural, magical realism, sci-fi, mystery, and all that good stuff -- so that's what you can expect. And for season two I'll be changing things up a bit by adding in some reviews I've written that will be on literally anything at all! I'll also likely throw up a few other things on those topics that I'm excited by or think are interesting.
