SUBMISSION CALL: Episode 74 of the Word Count Podcast
R. B. Wood
Episode 74 of the #WordCountPodcast is open for submissions!
I live in New England and we are currently in the middle of our third Nor’easter, with an additional 18” of snow expected by tomorrow morning. Power is intermittent after a tree took out our lines and ripped the electric meter of the wall of the house. Enough about me, while the solar chargers are doing their thing, I thought I’d post the next prompt for the show Six Months of Winter:
Appropriate for more than just weather-reasons. I just finished reading Stranded by Bracken Macleod (think John Carpenter’s The Thing, only better). It’s a great read and he is a wonderful author, and genuinely good guy. His books are so creepy, it’s like he is watching you read them…
Weird.
Anyway, episode 74 is accepting subs as of now. Please read the details below and the WCP Irregulars an I hope to hear from you.
By the way, if you are reading this, we would love to hear from you, either with a story submission or via social media. We have a Facebook Page that could use a few ‘likes.’ The more listeners and contributors we have, the better the shows can be.
There are over 400 original stories at this point—all free for your listening pleasure, all we ask is for people to help get the word out. Click the link:
