Join us in the quiet corners of Blue Walls, a poem by Elizabeth Hitchcock who journeys through time, space, and memory.
Blue Walls explores the contrast between solitude and connection, weekdays and weekends, routine and memory. From proofreading judgments with a purple pen to collecting lost children around a fire, the poem moves through intimate moments of longing and reflection. In this episode, we bring these words to life through sound and voice.

Translated by Diana Ferraro, Emilia Pardo Bazán’s haunting short story, AIR, explores the fragile boundary between love and madness, reality and delusion. A young woman, Cecilia Bohorques, clings to a single phrase spoken by her lover—"You are nothing. You are colder than air."—until it consumes her entirely. In her mind, she becomes air itself, untouchable, untethered, lost to the world.
Lving in the clouds during COVID—searching for something more than what was on offer?
Here, sunrise paints each day anew, and the rain doesn’t just fall—it feeds the soil, teases scent from the blossom, fills baths for feathered friends as the past lingers in echoes, the present unfolds in layers, and the wind carries questions not yet asked.
Step into a space where words drift like clouds, where stories fold forward and unfold back—where memory and imagination meet.

Welcome to Apple Beth & Friends—where stories don’t always end, and some barely begin.
Somewhere between a thought and a sentence, between the last word and the one that never came, there’s a place where unfinished stories wait. A place where endings linger… just out of reach. And on this particular day, Apple Beth stumbles right into it.
Meet Miss Loosends, the keeper of forgotten endings, tending to threads of stories that flicker, curl, and wait to be remembered. Enter Mr. Gent, ever the observer, watching the spaces between things. And brace yourself for Mr. Cutcorners, who never met an ending he wouldn’t trim—whether it was ready or not.
In this tale, loose ends twist, pages whisper, and time itself seems to pause—if only for a moment—before the next chapter begins.
Some endings arrive too soon. Some take their time. And some… some are just waiting for the right moment.

The World of Apple Beth
In the heart of an old orchard where the trees whisper stories and words refuse to sit still, Apple Beth lives among a cast of peculiar and delightful characters. Here, letters spin like leaves, shadows hold forgotten tales, and a misplaced word can open the wrong door—or the right one.
