About TALL TALE TV - Sci-Fi and Fantasy Short Stories
Are you a fan of science fiction and fantasy short stories? Do you love getting lost in a good book or audio drama? Tall Tale TV has you covered. With modern fiction from around the world, professionally narrated just for you, Tall Tale TV is your premier destination for bite-size audiobook adventure. My name is Chris Herron, a professional voice actor, and Every Monday and Friday I professionally narrate short stories from around the world. From epic fantasy to space opera, steampunk to urban sci-fi, and everything in between. Most episodes are stand-alone short stories, but I also mix in book excerpts and episodic novels, and novellas for a variety of content. But beyond that, I believe in bringing authors and readers together, which is why each episode includes detailed information about the featured author. In many cases, you'll have the opportunity to connect with them and discover even more of their amazing work. Tall Tale TV was born out of a personal experience. When I went temporarily blind for a year, I turned to audiobooks and audio drama as an escape. Once my sight was restored, I decided to pay it forward and become an audiobook narrator myself. This podcast is my gift back to the community. Don't miss out on this exciting journey of discovery and imagination. Tune in to Tall Tale TV at http://www.TallTaleTV.com and let me take you on a journey you'll never forget.

Published 9 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] You could hear a pin drop. We have been performing a number of calculations and simulations, and we now believe that we may have been following, for lack of a better word, an echo. For those of you who don't know, Phil Hartley was the primary designer of the equipment used to induce Wilson Hartley entanglement. He died shortly after receiving the Nobel for his discovery. Dr. Russo stopped. closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. I got a chance to meet with him once before he passed. He was very much interested in extraterrestrial communication. He had to pause again. Hartley was very much a recluse, and he performed many of his own experiments with the equipment he developed in an attempt to contact extraterrestrial life. […]
