Clatter Tongue by K.A Ren Wyld 

You’ll hear a live reading of a short story written by Ren Wyld and performed by Katie Becket for Story Saloon – a live storytelling show and podcast. The story itself comes from the First Nation Anthology of speculative fiction, titled This All Come Back Now, edited by Koori and Lebanese writer Dr Mykaela Saunders. 

This interplay between voice and voicelessness. The juxtaposition of the fantastic with the real world. Tackles the larger question of empowerment and disempowerment. 

Written by K.A Ren Wyld,

Read by Katie Beckett.

It was performed at the Vanguard in 2025 for StorySALOON, a live storytelling show and podcast that combines Australia’s best written storytelling with electrifying live reads. 

 

StorySALOON’s executive producer is Jane Messer, audio recording by Martin Gallagher at Echidna Audio.
