The Strange Recital

Tom Newton and Brent Robison

The Strange Recital is an audio forum for short fiction. We delight in perceptions of reality that twist and fold in unexpected ways. Each podcast episode runs about 30 minutes and includes a story reading (the Recital), a musical interlude, and an author interview (the Post-Recital)... with a twist.

    More a gift from the Gods than an anthology...

    Words cannot do justice as to how amazing this podcast is - it’s more than surreal, a bit less than terrifying, definitely mysterious... it makes my spirit soar the production is so brilliant - and recharges the batteries of my soul...
