Hello and welcome to the Drapylcast, episode 421. The Drapylcast 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 a travel cast trifecta special,

three stories by three different authors, read by three different

narrators, all revolving around one theme. Our theme for this trifecta,

Friends Close, enemies Closer. We bring you Time Cookie Wars by Benjamin C. Kinney,

Sandy by Bruce McAllister, and oh, what a privilege to dwell in the Grand Palace of the

Tungarills, by Kelly Moore. Ben C. Kinney is a neuroscientist and SFF writer who lives in St Louis with two cats and a space-faring wife.
