The Strange Recital is an audio anthology of short fiction. It is not genre-specific and delights in perceptions of reality that warp and fold in unexpected ways. The literary works we showcase might be odd, humorous, or surreal.... They might remind you of Borges, Nabokov, Kafka, Pynchon. Or none of the above.
Each podcast episode features one writer and runs about 25 minutes. It includes a story reading – the Recital – a brief musical interlude, and an author interview with a twist – the Post Recital. Subscribe to get a new episode twice a month. It's free.
"The air hung heavy on a cold morning or night in mid-July,
depending on whether or not you were able to sleep. Most people had
stopped a few years back, instead choosing to watch the news
channel, which ran twenty-four hours a day."
Journalism goes underground... can it survive? This smart
dystopian tale by a high school student suggests a future that
might be all too near.
