Places I Can’t Return To
This is an audio book of ”Places I Can’t Return To”, a collection of true stories by comedian Sean Bair-Flannery. Each chapter is a place I cannot return to, usually because the people who live or work there warned me to never return. Or sometimes because those places are now in the bottom of a lake. Each week I release the next chapter for free online.
