Podcast Episode 41: The Air Will Catch Us

produced and read by

Aaron: Welcome once again to the Reckoning Press Podcast. I’m Aaron Kling, audio editor for Reckoning and the reader for today’s story. Hope you’re having a good one. Our story today is Reckoning 7’s “The Air Will Catch Us” by Rajiv Moté. As a flash fiction piece, it’s a short listen. But Moté has filled every line with gentle worldbuilding, history, and most importantly, humanity. Follow a grandparent’s day at the park in a setting with an atmosphere intensely thickened by a changing climate. But this is far from a world defined by apocalypse.

Higher leaps and soft landings, listeners. Let’s jump in.
