Seriously My Favorite

I usually only listen to audiobooks on road trips but this podcast has me wishing I had more places to drive. Bite-sized fantasy for readers on the go and kids with short attention spans. Check it out for amazing indie (self-published) fantasy short stories. Family friendly, fantastic in every sense of the word, and so much fun. Karyne Norton and Paeter Frandsen are amazing narrators!
