Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast, episode 456. The Drabblecast is an audio fiction

magazine that brings strange stories by strange authors

to strange listeners, such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

Great show for you folks this week.

We've got a Drabblecast original queued up for you about the road less traveled and the truth

or lack thereof behind our decisions.

We bring you, Is This a Plate by Bob McHugh. Bob is a Boston-based

writer and father of two. He's immensely grateful to be both those things. He's the semi-proud

recipient of an MFA in creative writing from Emerson College. His work has appeared in daily

science fiction, escape pod, and several anthologies. Follow him

at Sentient Letter on Twitter. The story is produced by Drabblecast guest producer Adam Prott, and

it's narrated by Dominic Rabrin. Tom's an artist, writer, and general maker of things. He lives and works

in the D.C. area, and is currently working on finding connections between Haitian voodoo and physics. Oh, snap. Hey, keep works in the DC area, and is currently working on finding connections between

Haitian voodoo and physics.

Oh, snap.

Hey, keep me in the loop with those findings when you find him, huh?

Because, I don't know, I just crave power and need to wield me somewhere that's going, okay?

I need it.
