This week, we air our first episode of the Story Works Reading Series, sister podcast to the Round Table. Hear an author read an original short story or essay, then sit down with Alida to chat about the piece's inspiration, challenges, and craft. A podcast for readers, writers, and readers curious about writers!

Alida Winternheimer gets the table turned this time, putting her behind the mic. She reads from Saving Annabelle, a historical Midwestern gothic tale that confronts the dark undercurrents of everyday life.

Writer Carlee Tressel takes the interviewer's seat and really picks Alida's brain, unpacking these tense opening scenes.
