Cold Reads
Nathaniel Tower
Each week, Nathaniel invites a writer to submit his or her wildest, funniest, or most disturbing story of under 1500 words. Without reading through or practicing, or even knowing what the story is about, Nathaniel will perform an audio of the story (a cold read). He will attempt to keep his composure as he reads through whatever craziness the author has concocted.
