Tales from the Shift: Become a guest! https://www.podpage.com/tales-from-the-shift/guests/intake/

This is a bonus episode where you'll hear the full conversation I had with my friend Melissa about how she "met" Kid Cann. We also talk about my haunted house, her book and podcast and a few other things. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope the sound quality of the call portion won’t turn you off. I tried to fix it, and it honestly sounds better once you get used to it :)

For this episode, I’m giving you a sneak peek at a series I’m producing over on my other podcast, Collected Sounds.

I am reading to you the short story called “Afterward” by Edith Wharton. This story was written in 1910.   It is an ironic ghost story about greed and retribution. This is my favorite so far of the ones I’ve done.

Happy Spooky Season!

This independent podcast is produced by Amy at Collected Sounds Productions.

Host: Amy Elle

Story: “Afterward” by Edith Wharton (public domain).

Theme music by Cannelle, written especially for Collected Sounds. https://www.patreon.com/melissaoliveri
