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...
The only other show that I can compare it to is “The Story Must Be Told” - the two are quite similar in surrealistic presentation and ominous storytelling. Strange Recital is way more underground/ less popular - but... more
The clinical recital of shared experience in different contextual frames - physics, jazz (including the physics of jazz ...), travelogue, elements of religion - builds suspense counterintuitively- and the ending is shocking because violent chaos is introduced so suddenly to the setting. Very impressed.
And I always enjoyed the Beacon-NYC ride ...
