    A Dinner With Death

    'A Dinner With' is a fictional podcast in a dystopian future, and the host Martin Jones has landed his highest profile guest yet: Azrael, Death Personified! Join them as they eat food, talk about life, and distract you from your meaningless existence. A Dinner With Death is the first dramatic fiction story (as opposed to a prose fiction story) on the podcast. Check it out, and be sure to let me know what you think of this style, as I consider writing more stories like this in the future! Support the show
