Retcon: A Mosaic Story

These are author-read audiobooks (audiostories?) of my short story series RETCON, which is being published montly as ebooks starting in March, 2023. Listen to the story of a secret time-travel research program at Cornell University, and what happens that they realize that no messages are coming from any point after April 4, 2031 at 3:56pm... the time they dub "zero second".

I am going to have to pause the podcast presentation of Retcon; it is simply unsustainable. This gives you all the details & explanations, but that's the gist. You can, of course, still read them; links here: https://stephenfrug.com/retcon-a-mosaic-narrative-in-three-movements/

Story #2 of Retcon. A woman returns in time to die, and falls in love with a man who is destined to go forward into an unknown future. Someone gets eaten by a tiger. It's either a comedy or a tragedy, but it's hard to tell which.

The first story in Retcon: A Mosaic Story!

Scientists involved in a secret research program investigating time travel meet a time traveler, who tells them that no information (neither people nor messages) is coming from any point beyond April 4, 2031, at 3:56 in the afternoon… the time known as "zero second".

This is simply the introduction to the series, describing what this podcast is going to be. If you skip ahead to the first proper episode, I'll be repeating all the essential (non-spoilery) points there.

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
