An Author’s Dreams Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jude Calvert-Toulmin
A collection of short stories from real dreams. I’m Jude Calvert-Toulmin, a best-selling author who’s just spent a year not getting my 7th novel out due to being flattened with Long Covid. This has given me some strange and disturbing dreams, which I’ve turned into short stories for this podcast. I transcribe the dreams as accurately as possible on waking up. It's all dreams. It's all real.
