Hello listeners, 

Thanks for tuning into another episode of Beneath the Rains Shadow! 

Today we critique Tamara’s latest story Shanghai based on the prompt: 

Military Spouses

Fort Worden (Port Townsend, WA)

Tamara’s story is a contemporary retelling of Greek mythology mixed with an exploration of familial dynamics and cultural values with a gut-wrenching and tragic ending.
