Did I mention that it was stupid? Nicely read, though the audio quality of the introduction needed work. But really...this was really freakin' dumb.

I cannot imagine someone modern enough to listen to a podcast on a Fantasy website would not like this story. It was totally awesome, and makes me very jealous of Mr. Haddayr Copley-Woods. Well done!
