On this episode, we're presenting two of our favorite stories:

Silvia's Blood was originally released in 2014, and is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick titled, "Upon the Dull Earth."

Moon Graffiti was the first episode of our show, which began in 2012. It was inspired by a speech written for Richard Nixon by William Safire titled, "In Event of Moon Disaster."

Our producer Jonathan Mitchell has directed a new project.

Day of Days is a six-part podcast series from Walking Cinema that recounts a meeting between Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black mystic Howard Thurman, as King was recovering from a stabbing in Harlem in 1958. That meeting brought King face-to-face with the demons pursuing him since the Montgomery bus boycotts, and revolutionized his approach to the fledgling Civil Rights Movement.  

Jonathan directed, sound designed, and wrote the original music for  the series, which was created by Michael Epstein of Walking Cinema, and written by Darren Canady.
