Radio Free Burrito Presents: The Coffin Maker of Carbunari by Robert Tralins

I did a SUPER short little audiobook thingy for y’all today. The whole thing is only about 11 minutes long, perfect for a quick walk around the block.

Published in 1970, today’s short story comes from a battered old paperback I own called SUPERNATURAL STRANGERS, by Robert Tralins. Because it’s Earth Day, I recorded in my back yard. I hope you can hear some of the birds, and sounds of beautiful Spring life, behind the spooky tale.

I hope you enjoy it. It was fun to do this.

Radio Free Burrito Presents: Return to Pleasure Island by Cory Doctorow

Today’s RFB Presents comes from my friend, Cory Doctorow.

Cory says, “This is the story of the ogres who run the concession stands on Pleasure Island, where Pinnocchio’s friend Lampwick turned into a donkey. Like much of my stuff, this has a tie-in with Walt Disney World; the idea came to me on the Pinnocchio ride in the Magic Kingdom, in 1993.”

Radio Free Burrito Presents: The Sun Goddess by Frank Rinder

While we are Social Distancing, and Staying Home to Stay Safe (how about those capital letters?!), I’m recording and releasing free audiobooks a couple times a week.

I’ve been putting them at SoundCloud, but I’m going to start putting them here, too, because I am proud of these little things, and I want them to have as large an audience as possible.

Here’s the second short I read, The Sun Goddess, by Frank Rinder.
