The international writers residency didn't get mentioned. The deadline is a ways off though, so I'll mention it next week. The profile of Howard Wiley and his music from the "Angola Project" also did not get aired, but his music is the everlasting kind, so it'll still be good news next week. I did play a segment of "Mission of Love" a serial radio drama, and I also played some poetry, "Unnamed Flower" and "New York City Blues." I spoke with the Metaphysical Muse, Tony Mims. He had a poem about numerology and gave out some good information about the coming week.

Storytelling is the simplest way to command attention from all ages and kinds who speak the same language and have the same desire to know how the story ends. The storyteller has told a story to a crowd of thousands, and told stories in small theatres, libraries, retirement homes and shelters for homeless families. From fairy tales to biographical stories about fascinating real people in history, they are all originals told only as the author herself could tell them. Weaving a web from ancient times to modern, between inventors, singers and warrior queens, the real and the surreal, The Storyteller makes surprising connections eliciting gasps and laughs from her listeners.01:00:00Martha Cinader Mimsnostorytelling,story,martha cinader mimsStorytelling is the ancient art of drama, without special effects, without a director, with just one actor who plays everyone.
