I cannot urge you enough to go and grab the “Ghosts and Angels” Selected Shorts podcast episode now, like RIGHT NOW, before it goes away.

I’ve made it through two of the stories so far, and both of the readings are excellent, but the late founder of the Selected Shorts program, Isaiah Sheffer, reads a James Thurber short story and it just sparkles and is more than worth the cost of the bandwidth it will take to download the podcast.

More often than not, when I imagine a short story of mine read aloud I imagine Sheffer’s voice — he was just an amazing reader and takes such an obvious delight in Thurber’s very funny story about the ghost in the apartment.

 

Go directly to WYNC, do not pass ‘Go’, do not collect $200, just go listen, quick.
