This one was done as "proof-of-concept" (I don't really know what that phrase means) and so is very much unedited, unfinished, and essentially unlistenable. This was the first short story that sprang to mind when I decided that short stories were to be the reading-fodder, but the dialogue-heavy nature meant it was difficult to execute. You really have to go hard on the voices, and that's kind of hard to do when your whole mission statement is easy-listening.

A behind-the-scenes look at the initial, exploratory recording of The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. Recorded in a blanket-stuffed shower cubicle, including several do-overs, flubbed reads, and warts-and-all, made-up-on-the-fly character voices. Hear this classic story populated by characters from... Miscellaneous America, I guess?
