  • Count down replay: Beauty and the Torture Librarian
    Mar 16 2026

    I had a blast recording this story and the commercial, but am terrified, I mean absolutely terrified, of singing in public. But I have awesome listeners, and even got feedback about how much this story made them laugh. Thank you!

    Next week is episode 99 of 100, and the 100th episode is going to be something special, so stay tuned!

    As we count down to the 100th (and last) episode of Discount Storytime, this was our first story read by our resident voice actor, Larry. Enjoy!

    Our next episode is in two weeks and is the episode I probably had the most fun recording, but was absolutely terrified to publish! Tune in to find out which one it was and why!
