Bob's Short Story Hour

Episode 108 includes the fourth part of a ten-part series in which we embark on a journey through the 100 stories told within Giovanni Boccaccio's book "The Decameron". This series, just as the book, will be divided into the ten days of the frame story. Selected stories from each day will be read by various artists from multiple sources. Series dedicated to Daniele Bolelli after his initial suggestion of the book back in Episode 90 of the show. Tune in to episodes 97, 99, and 108 for parts 1-3 of the project if you haven't heard them already.

Episode 117 features a recitation of "The Picture in the House" by H. P. Lovecraft. This episode was an impromptu retelling of a story that I've been meaning to include in the project for years that was prompted by a request for an upcoming Lunatics Radio Hour episode series. Episode dedicated to Molly and Collin, happy birthday Collin! Thanks for listening everyone!
