Every other Thursday, join Elishia as she presents a new short story that she has produced and directed for the podcast, and then she’ll sit down with the author, taking the opportunity to chat about their piece, from the writing process through to narrating the finished product. At the end of this mini-season of 10 episodes, hopefully Elishia will have learnt enough from the podcast herself, as she dips her toes in—attempting to write her own short story to narrate in the finale. To help her along the way, she’ll also have some bonus episodes: interviews with authors who have had their novels released as audiobooks, and with professionals from the industry, who make it all happen!
