The Beeb's been playing readings of the 5 stories on the shortlist. They started on Monday, one a day, and they're available to play for free for a week after broadcast. Link to the first one here - the others are in the 'more episodes' bar: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03bddd0/BBC_National_Short_Story_Award_BBC_National_Short_Story_Award_2013_Mrs_Fox/ I think, because it's radio, it's available everywhere. If I'm wrong about that, sorry non-UK folks.
