This narration appears on StarShipSofa #396. Once Rikki began to read the text of this story, he quickly realized that it was entirely British. After discussing the issue with Assistant Editor Jeremy Szal, Rikki was given the green light to do the narration entirely in a British accent - the protagonist / narrator of the story speaks in a moderate Cockney.
We highly recommend listening to the entire episode, which includes an interview with New York Times best selling author Joe Abercrombie by StarShipSofa Assistant Editor Jeremy Szal.
