Each one runs about five minutes long. And each one stands entirely on its own. These aren't excerpts. They aren't previews of something bigger. Every episode of this podcast is its own complete listening experience.

    Duende by Isabel Miller

    In a dusty tango cabaret, Duende, a mischievous, wise, cruel, and timeless fairy roams between the crevices, enticing its audiences, musing on times long gone, and igniting creative spirits of those curious souls who dare to listen. Duende’s parasitic and mercurial relationship with an aspiring tango dancer, however, reveals to what extent Duende will inspire or creatively starve those who desire artistry.
