  • Something different!!

    In a world of true crime and self-help podcasts, it’s FUN to have another option! Short mysteries are brought to life with sound effects and the soothing story-telling voice of the author. Great stories for wind-down, dog-walking, or kid-pick-up!!

  • Like listening to an audio anthology. Great selection of stories, awesome production values, and there are also a couple serialized audiobooks to choose from. Great way to wind down at the end of the day, perfect length for walking the dog. Can't get enough. Always excited to see a new episode drop!

  • Fresh, new, original stories!

    Not a lot of original fiction podcasts out there. If you're an audiobook lover, you'll find these short stories a great listen in between full length novels.

  • Captivating and Suspenseful

    “Firefly” reminded me of THE PLOT, a novel I recently read. This story succeeded where the novel failed. It’s an amazing story.

    I’ve also read the entire Rainy & Day novel on YouTube. Rich Hosek is a brilliant author and a talented narrator.
