    Transcript: 

    Hello listeners! It’s Anthony here with a quick announcement. 

    I have a new podcast! It’s called Story Time with Fifi and features science fiction short stories and other tales written by yours truly. Each week features a new part of a short story I’ve written. You can listen on your favorite podcast app or on my YouTube Channel “Nanfito Space.” 


    The debut story, Serena, has been released in 8 parts and follows Serena, the Chief Scientist of the Titanus Underwater Research Station on Earth’s first colony 4.5 lightyears from Earth. 

    The research station is exploring why there is no life the habitable planet of Titanus. However, a crisis emerges when a deep recon submersible piloted by Serena’s brother, Todd, and Chief Marine Biologist, Kate, goes missing.

    Serena must control her mixed emotions, coordinate with the scientists and engineers, and focus on the task at hand: finding the missing sub before it’s too late.


    Visit anthonynanfito.com/storytime to listen to all 8 episodes OR search for “Story Time with Fifi” wherever you get your podcasts to listen and subscribe today. 


    You can read these stories and support all of my creative pursuits at buymeacoffee.com/wordsbyfifi. Contributions can be one-time or monthly. Your contributions help me keep the power on and dedicate time to create content you love.


    Thanks so much for listening. If you’ve enjoyed any of my creations—books, stories, or podcasts—then share them with friends so they can join the fun too. Until next time, take care of yourself and, if you can, someone else.

    Sitting forlorn

    Memory fading.

    warm sunshine 

    on white sycamore 

    heartache sweat
