Fall Fiction

When Will and I first conceived of Western Thought we pictured it as a literary magazine. Obviously there were practical roadblocks to this and I thought a podcast would be more fun. But I've maintained interest in doing something with more fiction. If you or anyone you know has a piece of fiction that they think is solid and would be good as audio I encourage you to submit. Will and I do this podcast cause we like reading and will read most anything.

If we like it I'll find an actor and we'll record something like this.

Regarding this specific story titled INNOCENCE. It's a story I drove up to Alaska to do research for. It's a true story about my great uncle. While the prose does have some youthful indulgences I think the essential core of the story still comes through. Read with emotion by the actor Stanton Pavlichek.

I edited this purposefully with some flubs cause I think including outtakes in your art can be fun.

Finally, this episode is sponsored by the superior audio product, my novella, The Town of Books.
