概要

Original short stories in the classic tradition, written and narrated by Don McDonald, author of the Civil War novel The Line Uncrossed and creator of the Litreading podcast.


New Tales Told brings you brand-new literary short fiction, each story complete in a single listen. Some reach back centuries. Others slip into futures that haven't quite arrived. A few will follow you out of the room. Historical fiction, speculative tales, quiet character studies and the occasional chill, told the way stories were first meant to be told: out loud, by someone who's spent four decades behind a microphone.


The storyteller of old, just a tap away.


New Tales Told. The classic short story, reimagined for today.


If a story stays with you, a five-star rating helps other listeners find it. If it didn't… maybe just forget you listened.


New Tales Told is part of Short Storyverses (https://shortstoryverses.com), a network of podcasts devoted to exceptional storytelling. There's Litreading for timeless classic short stories, Season's Readings for holiday tales any time of year, FRIGHTLY! for tales of terror, and Readastorus for younger listeners.

  • The Hum by Don McDonald — A Widower Follows a Sound Beneath His House

    The Hum by Don McDonald — A Widower Follows a Sound Beneath His House
    2026/10/24

    It starts on a Tuesday in October, at ten minutes to three in the morning. A low tone with no seam in it.


    Hollis Pike's neighbors can't hear it. His phone can't record it. The audiologist says his hearing is fine, better than fine, and writes something down.


    So he goes looking for where it comes from. The county keeps records. The house has a history. The sound is patient.


    An original story, written and read by Don McDonald.

  • Below Ten Thousand by Don McDonald — All the Time and No Time

    Below Ten Thousand by Don McDonald — All the Time and No Time
    2026/10/17

    He has four words. He's had them for forty-two years. He's said them in the car, he's said them in the shower with the water running, and he still can't get the stress to fall where it belongs.


    Now the seatbelt sign is on, the descent has started, and his brother is running out of days. In his jacket pocket is a voicemail he has never played.


    There's a rule pilots follow below ten thousand feet. Nothing gets said that doesn't need saying. He always thought that sounded like a good way to live.


    An original story, written and read by Don McDonald.

  • Still Water by Don McDonald — Four aircraft carriers in a lake

    Still Water by Don McDonald — Four aircraft carriers in a lake
    2026/10/12

    Dr. Nathan Cole measures water for a living. It's quiet work, gauges and spreadsheets, the slow arithmetic of things that don't change much. Then a reservoir gains four inches overnight with no rain, no inflow, no explanation, and gives them back by morning. Everyone blames the sensor. The sensor is fine. What follows is the worst thing a careful man can discover, which is that he's been measuring the right thing all along.
