Welcome to Cold Reads, Episode 5. Cold Reads is a weekly podcast read by Nathaniel Tower. Each week, Nathaniel invites an author to send his or her wildest, funniest, most twisted story. Without reading the story ahead of time, Nathaniel records an audio version, trying to maintain his composure as the author takes the audience on a wild ride.

Week 5 brings you "Medicine and Meat" by Len Kuntz. This story was previously published in Wrong Tree Review.

Len Kuntz lives on a lake in rural Washington State. His writing appears widely in print and also online at such places as Word Riot, Troubadour 21, The Camel Saloon and also at lenkuntz.blogspot.com
