A Summer Postcard

by Steve Garrett, posted in Postcards

While we are working on new episodes for Season 2 of Within The realm, here’s a summer postcard! The episode is an encore presentation of a story from Season 1 about an important event in Protection, Kansas.

Even though we aren’t producing full episodes over the summer, we are still trying to build our audience. If you like one of our episodes, be sure to share it on facebook so others can find out about the podcast. This is a very grass roots effort, so we need your help to spread the word!

We are also on twitter at @realm_within and SoundCloud, iTunes, Stitcher and more. Enjoy the postcard.  Don’t forget to give us a review and recommendation of iTunes or your favorite source for podcasts. Thanks for listening.
