Hello- Jeffrey here. Today, we’re excited to share a show from the Fable and Folly Network that we think you might enjoy- Where the Stars fell. This is another American Gothic show- though set in the Pacific Northwest rather than in the Midwest. It’s a wonderful story that centers of themes of identity and choice- and for me, I was sold on the imaginative, strange world- a joy to lose yourself in. Enjoy this first episode of the show, and head to your podcatcher of choice to hear the rest of the...
