Hello and welcome to the travel cast episode 364. The travel cast is a weekly

audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by strange authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

This week we bring you all our Past Places by Cat Howard.

Cat Short Fiction's been previously published in audio

as part of NPR Selected Shorts

and on podcasts for Light Speed, Nightmare,

and forthcoming in Uncanny, and has been published in a variety of print magazines.

Her novella, the end of the sentence, co-written with Maria Devana Headley, was chosen as one of

NPR's best books of 2014 and her debut novel
