Episode 21: "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry

Episode 23* - "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury

So why the asterisk in the episode number? This should actually be episode 25; however, episode 24 had to be removed for a copyright infringement that was never fully explained to me. And since episode 24 was part 2 of a 2-part episode, I just decided to take down part 1 (former episode 23). No worries! There are no omelets without broken eggs. The coffee of the month is Bulletproof's High Achiever blend!

The last few months have been extremely busy for me and I hope to be back on more of a regular schedule. Look for a bonus episode soon with a chapter from an audiobook I recently finished producing and narrating entitled "The Eight Discs."
