The Podcast
Not About Lumberjacks is an anthology fiction podcast written by Christopher Gronlund. The self-contained stories span genres, but typically fall into the following categories:
- Literary
- Humorous
- Speculative/Fantasy
- Quirky
A recurring theme in the stories is finding hope in the face of struggles. (With few exceptions, even the melancholy tales on Not About Lumberjacks are written to inspire listeners.)
While the stories can be about anything, Christopher makes one promise to the audience: he will never–ever–share a story about lumberjacks!
About Christopher

When he’s not writing, he can usually be found hiking or canoeing with his wife, or pursuing a handful of hobbies as varied as the stories he tells.
