For reasons unknown, there is no feature page for this story on the podcast’s web site, as there are for four other Horror Hill adaptations linked below. This practice appears to have stopped after the fourth season. Inquiries went unanswered. Which is my cue, in the spirit of asking for forgiveness rather than begging for permission, to make them directly available here.
