A flash-fiction podcast where a handful of writers create an original story with a limited wordcount in a limited amount of time. In this episode we slip off our marks with filth on our plimsolls.

'100 Metre Backbreak,' by Joshua Crisp,

'The Scatological League,' by Fleur Shorthouse-Hemmings, of Sauna Storyteller,

'The Fall of Populism,' by Ella Brasington, 'My Laurence's devilled eggs,' by Tom McNally.

Featuring listener submission: 'The Stamp Acts' by Brooklyn Monet

Amelia Armande is performing 'Dionysus' at Blast Storytelling in Shropshire, Shaggy Dog Storytelling in Hebden Bridge and Beeston Tales in Cheshire.
