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!

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!
