Episode 25 of BSSH is a belated International Podcast Day 2017 special and includes a short introduction by the host. Following this is a reading of "The Passenger" by Lee Henschel Jr. which is an excerpt from his novel "The Sailing Master Book II: The Long Passage". Finally, our featured story for this year's International Podcast Day episode is "Sutter's Well" by Bob's Short Story Hour longtime friend Jeff Chapman. It is an eerie tale to lead up to our Halloween specials coming up later this month.
Finally, Listeners, I want to thank you for reaching out to me over the summer hiatus and encouraging me to get back in the studio. You were very kind and it means a lot to me to hear from you all, thank you.
Oh, and Kim G. - your suggested requests are most likely going to be this year's Halloween special - so be prepared, and thanks for the submissions!
