Episode 1: The Suit – Darwin takes a good hard look at the very thing that is more than about justice.
This is it! Season Three of the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME podcast with writer and artist A.P. Fuchs.
We have a great season in store for you with another huge chunk of stories. This season we’re going back to FLASH ATTACK, each episode containing one piece of flash fiction for your amusement and entertainment. We’ll be covering superheroes, horror, monsters, and everything in between.
FLASH ATTACK was started in Season One and will conclude with this season. We’re also introducing a new segment for the first chunk of episodes called Story Before the Story. No, this isn’t an explanation for the story you’re about to hear. Instead, we’re going to look at stories in general, why they’re important, and why we as a species need them.
So tune in, relax, and let’s have some Story Time.
Welcome to Season Three.
