I've been hearing from old friends from Blackthorne Repertory Theatre lately, which is pretty cool.  Amazing how this Internet search stuff works.  Didn't know anybody'd even be searching, much less finding such stuff. 

Got my first donation today!  So now the show is officially "Sponsored by Donations from People Like You," just like the big guys.  And, while I'd somewhat lost heart, I'm told my show "has heart," even though I still don't know what the darn thing's about.  Today, it's about 30 minutes...

Did a brief review of "Nina Kimberly the Merciless," by Christiana Ellis.  Kinda funny, but also sad and touching in some ways.  Maybe that's just me?  Recommended.

Featuring "Don't Wake Me Please" by Owen Poteat.  Very pretty.

Theme music from Kevin MacLeod, as per usual.

Found on Podcast Pickle I had messages from 14 New Fans!  Oh, really?  No, not so much, they appear to be fake.  What's up with that?

Also, my take on "South Coast: A Shaman's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper," by Nathan Lowell.  Good book, kind of "old school," but in a good way.  I've missed this kind of writing, and I'm glad to see it come back.

Featuring from the "It Doesn't Suck" list, "1913 Arms" from Porcelain Frogs (Elevations).

Theme music from Kevin MacLeod.

After watching "School of Rock," with Jack Black, I had the thought, "Dang, I wish I'd become a teacher."  Probably a bad idea for a number of reasons, but even so.

By the way, "186,000 Miles per Second" from "The Late" officially Doesn't Suck, now.  Congratulations!

Theme music from Kevin MacLeod.

Another story from the Brothers' Grimm, "Hans in Luck."  And my opinions on the story, for the little they're worth.  I think it went rather well, though.

I ran into someone at the Androy the other day who'd apparently heard the last story, and thought "You'd be great with kids."  I think I'd be terrible with kids, not that I wouldn't try hard.  I'm much more comfortable with microphones & computers & such.

Any opinions on how the whole storytelling thing is going, folks?  I'm enjoying it, and I do hope you are.

Themes: "Continue Life," "Sovereign" and "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.
