We All Scream - my narration on EscapePod

I loved narrating this short piece about a happily married wife and mother whose ice cream truck business runs into an unexpected problem one day.

 It's as if the author knew me!

I was pleased and humbled that EscapePod asked me to read it. You can find it on iTunes (episode 585) or here at EscapePod.
