STORY
For years, Rachel has suffered at the hands of her abusive boyfriend, a boxer named Tony ‘The Storm’ Matroni. When she decides she’s finally had enough, and the opportunity presents itself, she makes a choice she regrets. A trip on The Lift to the Sixth Story offers her a second chance to choose.
The Lift is created and shared for free, but there are hard costs associated with its production.
Keeping our podcasts free is important to our goal of spreading story and helping the talented writers, artists and composers we work with find new audiences. Because we have always seen our projects as a form of community building and collaboration with our listeners, we wanted to create a way for our core fans to become a part of what we do. If you enjoy the content and would like to contribute, we’d really appreciate it!
