Queens Curse

For over a thousand years he stood as a silent observer watching the chaos and the beauty of a fallen world.

Season 5, episode 15

In the past couple of years many statues and monuments in the United States have been demolished by angry mobs.

They say the values and beliefs of these men carved in stone runs counter to today’s morals.

Queens Curse is a story of a man frozen in glass. His origins are unknown, but his message is profound.

My Wife Doesn’t Listen To My Podcast

You’ll think loyalty begins at home. The person you share your bed with will have your back. Buckle up buttercup your in for a twist. 

Season 5, Episode 14 (Bonus)

Recently I’ve been receiving  positive and negative feedback about my show. Positive feedback is always welcome but the negative feedback is like a dagger in the neck. 

At least my show is gaining an audience and the larger the audience the more negative vibes.

Every movie star and famous authors goes through a battlefield of hurtful words and misguided comments.

To become a person of notice you have to develop titanium skin. You will be attacked from all sides so the titanium is crucial. 

Last week’s micro episode entitled, Only One Listener, is a good example. I’ve received angry messages from the island nation of Evaugne. They had an issue with an older episode called Messenger Pigeon, about a potential  suicide bomber.

I thank the people of Evaugne who took the time to send me feedback. You can do the same on Apple Podcast by leaving a rating and review.

You can also DM me on Twitter @poeticearthling

Special performance by Tiffany C Lewis please follow her podcast, Beta Reader Bits.

Core Dweller

An alleged faith healer emerges from the center of the Earth, a Homeland security agent is assigned to track him down. Is he a threat, a lunatic or an answered prayer?

Season 5, Episode 13

I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of intelligent lifeforms living in the centre of the Earth. No wonder why I’m a weirdo.

The thought of earthlings living under our feet for thousands of years is provocative, at least for me it is.

You probably didn’t think of it until now and why should you, life on the surface is already stressful. Living with “surface dwellers” could feel unbearable.

Special performance by Karin from Chaika Podcast

Julia

Many of us live as caterpillars when we could become butterflies

Season 5, Micro Episode (Ep 12)

When you’re middle class and live in a safe neighborhood it’s easy to shield yourself. 

The struggles of living paycheck to paycheck, or putting up with the food price hike doesn’t compare to living out in the street or at a homeless shelter.

The girl in this story detached herself from her butterfly wings and decided to sell her soul.

It’s easy to label and disregard these people without acknowledging their humanity. Every human being is sacred, however sinful practices creeps in and ruins the work of art.

Voice In Your Ear

Cindy’s favourite podcaster is warning her of danger, will she listen to his voice before it’s too late?

Season 5, Episode 11

They say podcasting is the most intimate form of media because it feels like the host is speaking directly to you.

Radio and Television is designed for a group experience hence the name broadcast.

Podcasts are designed for an individual experience. When you listen to a podcast you’re alone with your headphones.

That’s why I enjoy listening to podcasts, especially those that tug at my heart and intellect.

Special performance by Author Tiffany C Lewis from Beta Reader Bits podcast

Alex from Time For Your Hobby played the newscaster.

Special thanks to the lady with the golden voice, Shawntay from Ctamarketing.biz who played Jasmine.

Only One Listener (Bonus episode)

An unusual email leads me halfway around the world to a small village in the remote country of Evaugne risking my life for my only listener. 

Season 5, Episode 10

I’m kind of obsessive when it comes to listener feedback and meeting the needs of my diehard fans.

Obsessive maybe an overstatement but I’m dedicated to you.

When I heard I only had one listener in the island nation of Evaugne I was perplexed and humiliated. Only one listener?

This listener kept sending emails and eventually an airline ticket. Should I stay in Canada or travel around the globe for my loyal fan?

Special thanks to Leo Allen from Voluntary Input for inviting me on his show.

Thank you to Emily Inkpen from the Dex Legacy Series, for allowing me to play a king in their bonus episode.

Gemini Conundrum

Is reality objective or is it a mere mental construct?

Season 5, Episode 9

This episode breaks the 4th wall and dives feet first into the meta of story building.

The main character starts to realize he’s the main protagonist in the story he created.

In order to maintain the universe he developed he has to continuously articulate this story.

There’s some people who deny objective reality, they think the physical laws of the cosmos are a manifestation of the mind.

I don’t fall into this camp however I find it fascinating.

Special performances by Tiffany C Lewis from the Beta Reader Bits podcast,

and Jessica Berson from Echoes in-between podcast.

Insomniac

I’m sleep deprived so this episode may seem backwards and uncouth.

Micro Episode Season 5, Ep 8

Last week’s episode, Quantum Division, did something bizarre to my brain. It was almost like a cool electric shock danced through my head making it difficult to sleep.

Due to my sleep apnea and active imagination, sleep doesn’t come easy.I envy those people who sleep like a baby.

Are you one of those blessed humans who sleep through the night undisturbed, who wake up in the morning like a viagra commercial?

For me sleep is a battlefield of constant tossing and turning and to make matters worse I have to sleep with a CPAP machine.

Picture Darth Vader, well that’s me in a breathing mask. It took me over a year to get used to this contraption.

It was my wife’s idea a couple of years ago for me to go to the doctor.She noticed I temporarily stopped breathing while I was asleep.

Doctor told me to make an appointment with the Sleep Clinic, this is a place where you sleep overnight and they monitor your breathing. Sounded strange but I decided to go because it would make for a good story.

Quantum Division

One side wants to maintain the Timeline the other wants to change it.

Season 5, Episode 7

An agent wakes up naked in a hotel room. Things appear familiar but he can’t recall his name and how he got there. This story and its connected stories took years to develop. My goal was to write a time travel adventure since I’m a geek for time displacement tales.

Time traveling stories could be confusing, you have to make sure you establish laws and do your best to abide by them.

If the author negates his own time travel laws then the story becomes loopy and difficult to follow. Hopefully this story, Time Collective and 100 Years From Now, will make sense. I did my best, there’s no guarantees.

If you find the time travelling stories loopy and upside-down please reach out to me, I’ll do my best to explain it. Hopefully you won’t be more dumbfounded after I explain it.
