Podcast Episode 37: The Last Great Repair Tech of the American Midwest

read by

We’re here again with the Reckoning Press Podcast. I’m Aaron Kling, Reckoning’s new audio editor, the reader and producer for today’s story. How’s it going, everyone? This time we have Ellis Nye’s “The Last Great Repair Tech of the American Midwest” as featured in Reckoning 8. This one’s a fictional obituary, but don’t let that get you down. Since we’re exploring the memory of a woman who held her community together, the way every great technician does, with a creative jury rig here, some duct tape there, and a whole lot of love everywhere else.

Enjoy, everybody!
