The Twenty Percent True Podcast is a series of short stories. I nominated "The Chicago Center for Supernatural Support (Twenty Percent True Podcast: Season 3)" (found in Other Media) because the short stories are all loosely connected which I like. I'm not sure if that loose connection makes this fandom not qualify as short stories, but that is still how I think of them.

[donutsweeper]

Just to make sure I understand, each episode of the podcast is a reading of a short story?

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

Yes. Each podcast episode gives the backstory of a different character, what encounter with the supernatural led him or her to seek out the Center. So characters might appear in other episodes, but each episode is a completely stand alone short story that doesn't need the others to be understood.

[donutsweeper]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll add it in mentioning it's in audio form only.

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks!

I think this is a better link--it's a master post of the season:

[donutsweeper]

Oh, excellent. I'll update it for reference and for future years.

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

The previous seasons have completely isolated short stories, if that is something you enjoy and are looking for a podcast along those lines. Only the third season has any kind of connecting thread.
