Paperback Radio
Paperback Radio unveils bi-monthly stories from an eclectic array of genres. Two award-winning creatives invite you to indulge in their strange fiction. L.J. Longo (author) and Lane McLeod Jackson (playwright and director) love audio drama, so we decided to make some. We come out of our shells on the odd weeks of each month, hopefully to your delight and probably to God’s scorn. We hope you are sometimes delighted, sometimes spooked, but always entertained by the stories of Paperback Radio!

It's Been One Year! An unusual episode for this podcast, Lane and L.J. sit down to chat (or try to) about our year-old podcast. We recap the stories, [consider this your spoiler alerts], go behind the scenes, and fail to record L.J.'s laugh. To celebrate our first year (and put the podcast where our parents can find it), we are putting all episodes on YouTube.

Bi-monthly stories from an eclectic array of genres. L.J. Longo, award-winning short fiction writer, and Lane McLeod Jackson, award-winning playwright and director, love audio drama. We were both inspired by the golden days of radio (like "Suspense!: Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills", "Sorry Wrong Number" and the infamous "War of the Worlds" broadcast) and by audiobooks. There's something fantastic about closing your eyes and having an entirely new world unfold in your imagination.
We invite you into our strange worlds and hope you are sometimes delighted, sometimes spooked, but always entertained!
