Congratulations on volunteering to take on even more reviewing and, effectively, grading on Scribophile. Isn’t Unnamed University working you hard enough?

More apt congratulations to being mentioned and ranked high on…what was the name of it? it might have better recommendations for other, not as great, writing podcasts than iTunes does. Can you update the show notes to tell us?

These kids that Ms Blakeslee – and you – are teaching have watched less Tv than yo have, but generally have seen better written shows. You couldn’t get ‘Three’s Company’ off the ground thee days, and modern day adaptations of English shows are generally better done than ‘Good Times’, say.

As nicely mapped as Tennessee and Costa Rica is in your novel and Ms Blakeslee’s short stories are, you both should read ‘Ringworld’ by Larry Niven which has a place and setting we fans rabbit on about fifty years after it was written.

Thanks for an episode that checked so many of the boxes that make a TDO podcast special for me: Craft talk (setting), Florida’s place in modern culture, profiling a Southern writer, Disney World, and Vanessa. It doesn’t get much better than this!
