Legs to Run Hilarey Johnson's "Shape-Shifting" Bohoja" kidnapping story provides a different perspective on an old, sordid crime. And Jeanne Kay offers fun tales about escaped criminals in her "Prison Librarian" journal. Moving ahead with our regular readings, Steve is in chapter 27 of "Treasure Island" and Becky reads from "Winds of Wyoming" chapter 23. Enjoy!

Mysteries All Around A mysterious skull, a frightening phone message, an eerie picture, a black night, a noisy parrot, threatening emails, boot prints in the backyard, house arrest – and really great music.

Like the Moon (Light & Dark) We offer a mix of humorous and somewhat dark tales in podcast #73. As you might guess, "My Dog Was a Redneck but We Got Him Fixed" by Roger Pond leans toward the lighter side. "The Magician" from "Passageways" and "The Interlopers" by 19th Century British author Saki are a bit darker, but they also have a bright side. The podcast concludes with "Like Balls," a short poem by Christian Foster and "The Great Awakening" by David Roper. http://davidroper.blogspot.com/ https://www.amazon.com/David-Roper/e/B001K8M98M/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_4?qid=1496175597&sr=1-4 https://www.amazon.com/Roger-Pond/e/B000APA0UA/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1496175677&sr=1-1 http://www.freesfx.co.uk
