In night eighteen of the 1001 Nights Podcast, we continue chapter three: The Story of the Porter and the Ladies of Baghdad. Tonight we hear more of “The Story of the Mistress of the House,” in which our main character inherits a fleet of starships from her father. She is the oldest of three sisters—the younger two sisters have no interest in solar system R&D.

“The Story of the Mistress of the House” is retold by Maggie Lehrman. You can learn more about Maggie on our contributor page. (http://www.1001nightspodcast.com/authors/)
