This is ATM STORYTELLERS, a new storytelling adventure brought to you from Across The Margin and ATM Media. In this podcast, you will hear stories that were — or will be — published at Across The Margin…read by the authors themselves. First up is a deeply moving work, inspired by a twenty-five-year marriage to an older man, that celebrates the joys inherent when one leaps at the opportunity for love in exchange for a later life alone — “Before Lunch” by Dianne Blomberg. Followed by "Daniel" by Jay Jones, a story about desperate response to the devastating loss of a child, where a masterfully designed imitation has been crafted to fill the void of absence.
