    Pandemic Audio Fiction!

    Four audio fiction stories produced as part of “The Art of Audio Narrative” course at Quinnipiac University. These were written, performed, and produced by students at their homes, after the campus was closed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In their own way, all of these pieces address the difficulties of confinement associated with this strange time in our lives. Some are funny, others are disturbing, but they will all strike a chord for those listening in their own places of quarantine. Quarantine Careers: Voiceover Edition, by Tess Adams (explicit) A Sleepless Dream, by Liam Sheehan Just the Essentials, by Casey Urso Quarantined, by Maggie Smith The sound between the stories is from “Our Friend Jerry” by Bobby Cormier. *** Subscribe to The Benjy Section.
