Episode 12: American Sister

"She didn't care if he was engaged to be married in the fall. She wouldn't have cared if he'd murdered a flock of nuns and ate their holy hearts."

So here we are — the end of the road. On June 17, 2025, I set out to record a dozen of my short stories for this podcast, and we have arrived at number twelve. As I mention in the intro of this episode, you can watch the adaptation of this short story on IMDB:

Fork in Chopsticks

Not sure how the filmmaker arrived at that title, but I remember holding no objections. I was just amazed that the short film was made at all. Still amazed! On my old personal website, the page for the movie looked like this:

The editor of the story on East of the Web created a great logline for it:

Kung fu dubbee and would-be actress, Ally gets one last chance.

As far as audio recommendations go for this round, I have become a huge fan of the Acquired podcast:

These are very longform — seems like four hours is their norm nowadays. And often even longer; I just finished listening to the trio of episodes on Google, so that’s twelve hours. And they blew right by.

All right — one last thing.

I lied! This will not be the final episode of Spoken into the Ether, as there will be another next month.

So you’re not done with me yet. Until next time!
