Thin Air
Ray J. Lonsdale
The Thin Air Podcast is an episodic anthology of short stories, novellas and poems, including fantasy, science fiction, suspense, thrillers and the macabre. Featuring tales penned and narrated by Lonsdale, this program could be described as a fascinating blend of audiobook and modern-day old-time radio. Episodes are presented as dramatic readings with background sound F/X and original music. The premiere episode, titled “The Uncanny Valley of the Shadow,” is the opening chapter, kicking off what I hope will be a long-running and eagerly anticipated theater of the imagination.
