About this listen

 A SERIALIZED FICTION PODCAST: A gigantic Goldfish Bowl, three stories high, has appeared overnight in the university quad. No one knows where it came from. No one knows what it means. But the fish need feeding, a committee has been formed to determine how many subcommittees the situation requires, and somewhere in the Administration Building, a college president is too busy drowning in his inbox to look up. Welcome to the University of the Surreal, a campus where the impossible keeps happening — and somehow, that's not even the strangest part. https://www.universityofthesurreal.comMelanie Ho
