\"the-lost-boys-original\"Once again the polling has surprised me!<\/span><\/p>\n

I really think I love seeing what people want to hear our Word Count Irregulars put together.  Awkward sentence, yet SO bloody true.  And speaking of bloody, let’s anounce our prompt for the next show!<\/span><\/p>\n

“Being dead can be quite liberating…”<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Allow me to provide a little background about the show. I put together the podcast to feature writers (new and “old hands,” famous and just starting) as a way to get YOUR writing out there.  The show is simple: based on a prompt; you create an original short story and then record yourself reading it.  <\/span><\/p>\n

That’s it. No ads, no hard sell.  Just a podcast with great stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I do it?  It’s a hobby.  And I’ve been meeting wonderful authors through the show.  It’s all about networking and friendships.The show has been downloaded over 15000 times since it started, an average of about 500 per episode.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Listen to past shows HERE<\/a> or you can download\/subscribe via iTunes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Easy, fun and you’ll pick up a few more fans. So…you’ll be needing the guidelines then.  Right. <\/span><\/p>\n
