Storyradio #3: The Invisibles

 

For the duration of this year’s Waterloo Festival, Storyradio will be our resident storytellers. With a story every two weeks, Storyradio will be producing this creative series with a Waterloo theme.

 

 

 

The third feature is The Invisibles, by Tatum Anderson (click here to listen!). It tells of Tatum’s time as an inpatient at St Thomas’s Hospital.
