You are listening to a Clarksworld magazine podcast with your host and narrator, Kate Baker.

Greetings, Clarksworld citizens.

I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

This is our fourth story for the month of September issue 192.

I hope you're enjoying the stories thus far.

We have a few more left for you for the month, and then onwards to get another issue.

Speaking of which, those issues would not be possible without your continued support.

So thank you if you've been a reader, a shareer, a subscriber, a listener to the magazine.

If you'd like to do so and send some support our way, please go to patreon.com for

a slash Clarksworld to see how you can be a part of the magazine each and every month.

So our story is titled Shining Bursa and the Listening Post and is by Sarah Pauling.

Sarah Pauling, who can be found at the website SarahPauling.com, spent several years sending

other people to distant places for a living as a study abroad advisor in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

She's now in Seattle graciously sharing her home with two cats and a husband.

A graduate of the Viable Paradise Workshop, her stories have appeared in places like Strange

Horizons, Escape Pod, and Diabolical Plots.

If approached without sudden movement, she can be found at underscore Paulings at Twitter.

Or she nodders on about writing, tabletop gaming, comics, and books.

And if you like what you hear, please consider going back to informed consent logs from the

sole swap clinic and to study the old masters in the Prado, the end of the world.

So my dear listener, I hope you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

Bursa.
