BLIGHT : Stories in the Key of Decay and Repair is the collected audio work of Sean Williamson and friends. Each story is a meditation on death and rebirth. Each story is about endings and beginnings. There are dimension-shifting-dogs, flickering street lights, gas station hot dogs, toddlers, peach Schnapps in water bottles, Yancy Thigpen, and much, much more. BLIGHT is a comfort. BLIGHT is a voice. BLIGHT is a reminder. Visit us at www.blightstories.com and https://www.patreon.com/blightstories

Baby Bumper
Baby Bumper:
In 1993, my great Aunt Peg Ransom was a player in a dramatic scene that was reenacted (months later) on the CBS Television show Rescue 911. I began working on this story in 2019 in my apartment in Ridgewood, Queens, and will be sharing it as part of an experimental non-fiction, memoir series on Blight.
Final Questions:
Written/performed by Rhea Dhanbhoora from her poetry collection Sandalwood-Scented Skeletons (Finishing Line Press, 2022).

Customer Reviews
The real deal.
I’ve listened to thousands of podcasts over the past decade, but this was the first one brave enough to tell me that I needed a shower.
Amazing podcast that touches your heart.
Sean Williamson is a unique and soulful writer who touches your heart with every story. Listen to this podcast and be prepared to laugh, cry, and think about life and the way you live it in a new light.
Funny, beautiful, sad
Sean is a natural storyteller. His work is funny and beautiful and sometimes sad. In one of the stories: a dog dreams of the earth’s crust pushing up out of the sea, and it was all those things. Be it fiction or nonfiction, these stories—all of them—hum with a unique life of their own.
