Bob's Short Story Hour

Episode 98 features the return of an old friend of the podcast. British Columbian author PW Bridgman relatively recently released a new book of short stories and flash fiction entitled "The Four-Faced Liar". It's a fantastic collection of stories, and even includes a re-publication of one of my favorite stories "But No, Nothing" which you can listen to HERE. You can also find Mr. Bridgman's website HERE.

Episode 97 includes the first 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.
