Originally, I thought that this story and podcast would be trite, but Sandra McDonald proved me so very wrong. Well done to both the writer and narrator.

Excellent story! The title had me expecting something more or less cheesy in nature. It was nothing like that. Just when you think you know what's going on, everything changes again.
