Season 1 Episode 2: "Bye-Bye, Miss American Pie" & "The Climacteric"

We are thrilled to present Episode 2 of ATM STORYTELLERS, a new storytelling adventure brought to you from Across The Margin and ATM Media. In this podcast series listeners will hear stories that were — or will be — published at Across The Margin…read by the authors themselves. This podcast belongs to the writers and authors who bless our pages with their cunning wordplay and meticulously crafted stories. While you can take in these stories at the webzine, ATM STORYTELLERS offers an opportunity for the listener to sit back and let the stories wash over them in the tone and fashion that the author intended. Here, stories come to life in a way that could never happen on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Here, these stories truly “cross the Margin” and take flight.

Season 1, Episode 2 features two captivating tales. First up is a heart-wrenching short story where a deep bond, and a life just blossoming, are stolen by a senseless act of violence, Carolynn Kingyens' "Bye-Bye, Miss American Pie." This is followed by a provocative short story where a search for purpose in life finds a mother and son re-energized by nature’s vivacious spirit, R.E. Hengsterman's "The Climacteric."
