WWW #43: Speak With Animals

Fortunate Horse, Worlds Beyond Number
About this episode

The road is a door, and it beckons wide and open. Turns out, you can, in fact, get there from here. If there is a town, a bag, the throat of the ravening beast, the back room of a humble butcher's shop, your end at the bottom of the mighty Lydwyn. Towns are like Empires, they are made of people and promises. Roads are like graves, they are made of dirt and the space you fill. And along the road, like pallbearers: wild, wild things.

Worlds Beyond Number is:

Brennan Lee Mulligan

Erika Ishii

Aabria Iyengar

Lou Wilson

and is produced, designed, and scored by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse with exquisite design and editing help from Jared Olson
