137: Resurrect Your Darlings

In this episode, we read one of our most popular stories, “Johnny, From Another World,” in which a freelance ground transportation specialist picks up a hitchhiker headed to Jerusalem in hopes of implementing a plan for world peace engineered by benevolent aliens. This one originally appeared in Literally Stories in August of 2025: https://literallystories2014.com/2025/08/06/johnny-from-another-world-by-itto-and-mekiya-outini/ We’re excited to bring it to you today, along with the story of how it assumed its present form. Sit back, and buckle in.
