Janet & Roger Carden

Before starting The Halfling and the Spaceman, we had previously attempted to launch two other podcasts.   The first, in 2014, was Short Reads for the Long Road, which featured Roger reading short fiction.  Only two episodes were produced.  The second podcast was never published, with only one episode recorded in February 2020, one week before the lock downs.

Since the Spaceman and I are taking this week off to attend AtomaCon in Charleston, South Carolina, we present to you “Short Reads for the Long Road: The Room at the End of the World” from “The Astronomer” by Brian Biswas.

The Room at the End of the World was written by Brian Biswas and read by Roger Carden.
