Bob's Short Story Hour

Episode 108 includes the third part of a ten-part series in which we embark on a journey through the 100 stories told within Giovanni Boccaccio's book "The Decameron". This series, just as the book, will be divided into the ten days of the frame story. Selected stories from each day will be read by various artists from multiple sources. Series dedicated to Daniele Bolelli after his initial suggestion of the book back in Episode 90 of the show.

In Episode 107 of Bob's Short Story Hour, I am happy to present the first original version of the "Split Stone Saga" story that was first presented in Episode 100 of BSSH by Jon Cook of the Fado Podcast. If you are unfamiliar with this project, please go back and listen to Episode 100 to learn more and how you can participate and have your version of the story told on the show!

Today is the first spinoff variant written by Michael Crosa and performed by the Jollyville Radio cast and is based on the original story from Episode 100. This is going to be considered Variation 2.0 and every story based on this one will follow 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. Any further stories based on the original will be 3.0, 4.0, etc. and the web will be tracked in that way.
