Alternative Stories and Fake Realities
Alternative Stories and Fake Realities is the anthology podcast of the spoken-word audio production company Alternative Stories.
Working with poets, novelists and dramatists we tell stories and share the work of writers including radio plays, short fiction, book excerpts and writer interviews. We also explore the things that inspire writers including folklore and mythology as well as sharing content from other podcasts produced by Alternative Stories.
With almost 150 podcasts to choose from we hope there'll be something here to enjoy if you're into literature, books and the spoken arts.
