Show Notes

We’re back and this month we are returning to our Listener Library! A listener named Joshua (not our Joshua) suggested that we listen to “The Young Man with the Cream Tarts” from Escape! This episode is an adaptation of a short story, the first of three stories collectively known as The Suicide Club, by Robert Louis Stevenson. It tells the tale of two men who encounter a desperate youth, trying to give away pastries. This young stranger leads them to a macabre secret society. Why do these two lie to the young man about their names? Why do the members of this society gather to play a deadly game of cards? Why does everyone sound like Orson Welles to Eric? Listen for yourself and find out!
