100 Words of Astounding Beauty

Narrated real-time flash fiction

This show was binge-ready, but now it's not. 😢

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and/or Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-binge-ready listener experience.

Or... it could be our fault. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes are still releasing. Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.

Here's the last note we made on Nov 20, 2025, which may nor may not be helpful: Fully binge-ready (the entire story, possibly spread over multiple seasons, is ready, and no more story episodes will be added. Ever.) •

Show synopsis

This show uses machine-generated voices

A flash-fiction podcast where a handful of writers each make a story with a limited wordcount in a limited time.

Each writer has just an audio prompt and five minutes to make a first draft. Then a fellow writer will give them the edits and suggestions they need to reach those final one hundred words.

Created by Tom McNally for Red Button Audio

Creator comments

Submitter notes

Five writers are under the gun to write a very short story inspired by a strange sound. Hear them flounder, nervously giggle and collaborate as the timer ticks down to them performing their flash fiction at the end of the show.
