"For Christ's sake, Ruth," Stu bellowed over the TV, "shut those bloody kids up, will you!"Warning: This podcast episode contains strong language and themes that may distress some listeners.Both Sides of the Story is a collection of short stories from the Tall And True writers’ website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
