Aaron: You’re listening to the Reckoning Press Podcast. I’m Aaron Kling, editor for Reckoning’s audio in general and this story in particular. Glad to be recording another one of these! Today, listeners, we have Monica Wendel’s “A Shape that Has No Name” from Reckoning 8. In this story, we follow a young teacher as she navigates a difficult relationship in a world ravaged by disease and disparity. Give it a listen, and I’m sure you’ll love it too.

Enjoy, everyone!
