Still Waters in a Storm presents New Arabian Nights, a series of radio stories based on the ancient tales, written and read in class by students of English as a Second Language in New York state, beginning in the year 2024. The readers are seeking asylum in this country, and they’re running out of time.

As their stories progress and proliferate, you will hear them progress in the English language, their doorway to a whole new world.
