In this special penultimate episode of Short Story Corner, we return to the very beginning — the very first story we ever shared: “Passing the Bone” by the brilliant Henry Sakala.

This episode is a joyful, emotional, and reflective journey that traces how a once “silly little idea” blossomed into a podcast full of wisdom, curiosity and deep connection. We explore the layered themes of legacy, loyalty, rebellion, freedom, and the enduring tension between obedience and purpose - all through the lens of two unforgettable canine characters, Ninja and Bobo.

Lorraine reflects on what Passing the Bone has meant to this project, why it remains a powerful metaphor for life and how the podcast has grown since that very first story aired.
