Storyological

Storyological is a podcast about stories. In particular, short stories. In particular, any sort of short story that amazes us. Sometimes we talk about stories in Clarkesworld. Sometimes in Granta. Sometimes we talk about comics. Very occasionally we talk about films. Every episode, writers E.G Cosh and Chris Kammerud discuss how stories work and why they matter and what it is about these particular stories that we love more than anything.
