We are thrilled to present Episode 4 of ATM STORYTELLERS, a new storytelling adventure brought to you from Across The Margin and ATM Media. In this podcast series listeners will hear stories that were — or will be — published at Across The Margin…read by the authors themselves. This podcast belongs to the writers and authors who bless our pages with their cunning wordplay and meticulously crafted stories. While you can take in these stories at the webzine, ATM STORYTELLERS offers an opportunity for the listener to sit back and let the stories wash over them in the tone and fashion that the author intended. Here, stories come to life in a way that could never happen on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Here, these stories truly cross the margin and take flight. First up in this fourth episode of Season 1, an essay by a grassroots organizer, whose group who sprung into action, providing direct relief to those affected by the freeze that brought Texas to a standstill in February of 2021, and a biting examination of the lessons learned from the absence of a state response to the disaster: “Eye of The Storm” by Doug Greco. Followed by a story of a veteran named Owen Felts, highlighting how truly remarkable the lives of others may be and how much we can learn if we simply ask: “Owen Felts" by Michael Haller.

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.
