Well, here we are. Our 200th episode. Or is it?
This is not our 200th episode, despite the number in front of it. Because we have made all sorts of double episodes and bonus episodes. The result is I have no idea the real number of this episode, but, as they say, mathematics is more of an a...
2021-12-15 05:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMy least favorite writing assignment is the press release. I got a degree in journalism, and one of my classes was in public relations. We had to write press releases. It's a simple enough task: generate excitement but with clarity at the top, give specific details below. Include contact informat...

We field a lot of questions about writing (happy to!) though we don’t have all the answers. Joseph and I can only really ever tell people our own approaches to writing, which might not be the best approaches for you.
But there is one constant, one truism, that i return to more than any ot...

Hey, Joseph Fink here. After all these years, I thought it might be fun to share with our patrons some of the weather songs that never were. These are songs that I wanted to feature on the show, but the artist never responded, or said no, or I just never asked because the artist seemed too big to...

The play (monologue) below I wrote in 2008. Thirteen years later, I still appreciate some of what I was saying back then. I think Peachum's advice in The Threepenny Opera, is good... the bit about knowing your limitations and trying to work within those boundaries. I still live by that. ...
