As the one year anniversary of The End draws near, I'm on the hunt for some audio fiction tales from the past that I might have missed—or, more likely, forgotten about. So if you've a favorite that I've not featured previously, do let me know.
The last week, I've been helping lots of fiction podcasters improve the listener experience of their shows. That's been a lot of fun for me and quite helpful to the creators. Which should, in turn, help you and me, the listener. I'm doing it pro bono for now, as I'm learning a lot from the experience too.
Before we get to the shows in this issue, a reminder that I'd love you forever if you became a supporter of The End. There are also sponsor opportunities available, so spread the word!
Let's get into this, shall we?
