“Second Hand Stories is a fiction podcast aimed to showcase talented writers from all over the world. The world’s first story was told orally and Second Hand Stories desires to return to this tradition to inspire listeners to slow down and listen up.”

Second Hand Stories podcast is bringing back the oral tradition of storytelling one podcast at a time. This podcast, started and hosted by Jim Szabo and co-hosted by Colleen Stewart, showcases aspiring writers stories in a way unique way–writers are given the option of reading their own work, a rewarding practice for wordsmiths. Jim and Colleen then take the time to discuss the stories in depth. For a writer, hearing intelligent discourse about the work you’ve created is an education in and of itself.

I encourage podcast lovers to add Second Hand Stories to your playlist…you won’t be disappointed! And all novice writers, as well as more seasoned writers, share your work with Second Hand Stories! Hearing the work you’ve spent time creating, editing, re-writing is a true thrill!

Here are two of my short stories that have been read on the podcast:
