This is my favorite way to pass the time. It’s a weekly radio show in America based on one theme each time – different stories are told throughout the show relating back to that theme. The storytelling is epic and the characters and situations they dig out are amazing. A few of my favorites are: The House on Loon Lake, The Super, The Cruelty of Children and Fiasco!
