A good old-fashioned radio show disguised as a podcast

Paperback Radio: inventive, theatrical, unpredictable storytelling with a mischievous streak and a flair for old-fashioned pulp.

Created by two award-winning creatives L.J. Longo and Lane McLeod Jackson, Paperback Radio delivers patented miniaturized audiobooks from an eclectic assortment of genres.

We love a good story, so we decided to share a few.

Sometimes we’ll make you laugh, sometimes we’ll spook you, and sometimes we’ll break your heart. Hopefully to your delight and probably God’s scorn. Find us on Youtube, Substack, Spotify, and wherever else pendulums hum in the night. And because we can’t leave well enough alone, we’re bringing our stories to the printed page, too—with Paperback Productions. So don’t be a stranger; we’d love to get to know you.
Come for the stories. Stay for the strange company.

Macabre and Moody: Gothic! Unsettling! Spooky Vibes! Often Horror, but sometimes just weird, these audio stories will leave you feeling cold and bloodcurdled. Perfect for Halloween, but watch out for the body horror and the gross factor.

Cute and Cozy: Whimsy! Romance! Happy Vibes! Often fantasy, but sometimes just cute, these audio stories will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

Classic Reading, Fifth Fridays, and other Sundries: On months with a fifth friday, Paperback Radio gets personal. Join Lane and L.J. as they chat (or try to) about… fiction, film, the writing process, and whose turn it is to do the laundry.
