Shorts in the City: Recent Episodes
Lizzy Connolly
A series of short stories, to sleep with or morning coffee with. Not too funny or too scary (exciting enough, FOR SURE, but not too stimulating). Short eps, so you can be pretty non committal with us, as a venture. It's not like a marriage, a long book or 10 season Netflix show. Stories told in lots of different ways from sketch to spoken word...a sexy genre pick and mix. Consider this podcast like a rebound; something to quieten the noise in your head, but it definitely can't hurt you.
