An entire show dedicated to the short story (and every story read with great skill and care by the likes of @churchofben.bsky.social). Not only that, but broadcast for the benefit of hospital patients. @uksherka.bsky.social is doing a magnificent job. Happy first birthday Sherry's Shorts!
We're still celebrating turning *1* with 1 terrific story by Mike Fox @polyscribe70.bsky.social & read by Benjamine L Wray @churchofben.bsky.social. Find out what happens when a man realises the commune he joined on a small Scottish island isn't the tranquility he imagined. Listen Again link ⬇️.
W🤩W! Sherry's Shorts turns 1 this month! 🎉To mark the event, we have 1 terrific story from Mike Fox @polyscribe70.bsky.social. In 'The Apparent World', a man joins a commune on a small Scottish island where all is not as it seems...Listen Again anytime via the link.
