Short stories, read by a single actor

To make this event something special, producer Ian Atkins has broken the mould of the Short Trips range with not both Trevor Baxter…
If you subscribe to the Big Finish main range and your sub includes the March 2017 release Zaltys, please don’t forget to download Paul J Salmoff’s Subscriber Short Trips story Collector’s Item.
