Drabblecast

A “drabble” is a short story of exactly 100 words. Drabblecast is a 13-year-old weekly audio fiction podcast featuring short, quirky speculative fiction.

Founder and editor Norm Sherman loves the punch and impact of flash fiction, along with brief short stories that deliver in a quick 10-minute read to leave people laughing or crying, “and definitely wanting to share and talk about the piece as original or crazy or funny or interesting,” he explains.

The stories appear in both text and audio versions on ’s website. Sherman narrates some stories alone. For others, he brings in multiple voice actors. Episode 424 (4/14/20), for example, offers a full-cast audio production of Rachel K. Jones’ and Khalida Muhammed-Ali’s science fiction comedy, “On the Feeding Habits of Humans: A Firsthand Account.”
