The Word Count Episode 51 – The 5th Halloween Special **OPEN for SUBMISSIONS**
R. B. Wood
Still riding high after the most-excellent 50th episode of the #wordcountpodcast!
What a wonderful five years of themes, interviews, friendships and brilliant stories. And next up is one of my favorite shows to host–the Halloween Special!
Ghouls and ghosties and all sorts of beasties have been written and sung about in past shows. This time around, I’m looking for a simple ghost story.
That’s right. No three word theme. No twist. Just a tale that could be told around the campfire. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a horror story–some of the best ghost stories have been fantasy, comedy or romance.
In the meantime, for those unfamiliar with the show…
The Word Count Podcast is truly one of my joys. I direct, produce, write and host the show—and also come up with the various themes our writers—The “Word Count Irregulars”—use to create unique and brilliant stories.
All for the listener and lovers of great storytelling.
There are no endorsements…no paid stories. It’s all done for the love of the written word. And downloads are always free. Always.
The only thing I ask is a little help via social media to point folks at the show.
To start listening go to either my Libsyn Page or to iTunes:
There are Fifty shows available right now!
