#flashcast

My first podcast! Please let me know if you experience any issues so that I can correct it ASAP.

‘’So...The council of Wells happened tonight on #TheFlash. My apologies. #CouncilOfWells ’’

Greetings and Salutations, gentle readers! Please excuse our dust, assorted wires waiting to trip up the unwary, and the piles of precariously perched tomes lying about. We hope to have our first podcast recorded and available shortly, and greatly appreciate your patience. But for now, a short bit about our history and our mission.

If you’re anything like me, you have a lot of books in your to-be-read stack. And that sometimes it feels like no matter how fast you read, the stack just never seems to stop growing. Plus, there are so many other things clamoring for your time and attention--silly things like gainful employment, relationships, travel to exotic locales--and since you’re a known hoarder of books, your friends and family always have a recommendation to share. Naturally, some books keep getting shuffled further and further down the stack because you just have to read this one that just came out...

I too had this problem, until I developed my elaborate and entirely arbitrary system of presidence in the stack. As a result, I tend to be more than a little bit behind the times on what’s new and great in the literary world. So, while others are waiting with baited breath for Sarah J. Maas’ Kingdom of Ash  to finally arrive hot off the presses, I still have Empire of Storms  glaring at me from the YA pile. Rather than let this discourage me, I figured that there are probably others out there who share my dilemma of wanting to talk about something that the fandoms and forums moved on from several years ago.

But again... there’s that pesky issue of you not having a ton of free time on your hands to listen to me rave about my latest reads. So, I figured if podcasters and radio hosts can spend 1-3 hours and be heard, why not a 5-10 minute sprint? A Flash-cast! Each flashcast will be short and sweet, perfect for fitting into any podcast listening schedule no matter how hectic. Transcripts can be provided here if there are any requests for them, and as I go along, I’m sure that I will feel the urge to write reviews, post photos, and offer recommendations.

If you’re still with me, then thank you for reading! Happy hoarding!
