Chapter Two: The Story of the Fisherman (Nights 4-11)

May 13, 2015

Listen to the full recording of chapter two, which includes "The Story of the Fisherman" and all the tales within. You’ll hear delicious modern fiction interpretations of the Arabian Nights and you'll meet a brand new cast of characters, including a fisherman who finds a mobster in his daily catch, a sickly and reclusive king who hopes to be cured by a magical sage, a venture capitalist who acquires a robot to spy on his beautiful wife, a newly hired sherpa who takes a spoiled prince on a snowy adventure, and the many players in Baltimore's mob-scene. After you finish, you can skip to 26:00 in Night 11 to begin chapter two.
SPECIAL ADDED CONTENT: Musician and lyricist Joshua Sturm performs an original song inspired by the 1001 Nights. Nathan Kane provides a short discussion of the original tales. If you'd already heard Night 4-11, skip to 2:37:00 for this special added content. 
New contributors include Andrew Gretes, Sheila Grau, Colby Day, and Rachel Music.
