Step into the realm of the unexpected with Fiction Kitchen Berlin, the podcast that brings flash fiction to life. For over three years, the Kitchen ran as a literary journal showcasing stories from new authors in Berlin and across the world. Now, reborn as a podcast, the Kitchen continues to deliver new weird and wonderful tales plucked from the fringes of existence. Join us, Daniela and Shane O’Halloran, as we delve into worlds where boundaries blur, reality twists, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
This December 2024, we will be running a new story each day – 24 authors over 24 days. Make sure you give us a follow over on Spotify so you don’t miss out. Oh, and if you can, please do help support us via our Patreon account too. Every cent helps to keep the lights in the Kitchen.

Journals
Before we were a podcast, the Kitchen used to publish new stories each week from authors in Berlin and across the world on its website. Some of these stories, including author interviews, were published in a free journal distributed to the public.

As of right now we are closed to submissions, but after our run in December, we will be opening the Kitchen again for 2025. We will aim for a special theme this time and subs will be first reviewed in written form before being considered for the podcast.
Another change we want to implement is with narration. We had a lot of fun doing this for our ’24 Authors – 24 Days’ December special, but for future episodes we expect each author to record their own story. We feel there is really nothing better than hearing a story being read by its original author as it really adds to the mood and tone of the piece.
If this is something that rocks your boat, stay tuned to this site or follow us on social media for updates. We will be realising details soon(ish)!
A little bit about us...
Fiction Kitchen Berlin is run by Shane and Daniela O’Halloran. After the journal ended after three years of publishing new stories each week, we were looking to something different with the Kitchen… and that’s when Daniela suggested transforming it to a podcast. Since then we have been hard at work planning and narrating some of the stories you will hear in December. Have a listen also to our earlier podcasts where you will hear the two of us share our thoughts on the meaning behind the stories from Shane’s book, ‘City Fishing’.
Welcome to the Kitchen!
