  • #18 – Can’t Touch This
    Jan 12 2025

    We indulge in a little self-Daredevil action with dramatised readings of Ed and Amanda's own stories and a little one-on-one tough love, before talk turns to the NanoWriMo A.I. controversy and our cancellable thoughts on the matter.

    In Get Rec'd we turn the microscope on the film, 'May December', and its ties to the true story of convicted pedophile, May Kay Letourneau.

    Read Ed's showcased Furious Fiction story, 'Who Shat Their Pants?' and check out the picture prompt at https://www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/furious-fiction-september-2024-story-showcase/ Search for the 'What the Heck is going on with NaNoWriMo?' episode of 'Write Your Damn Novel' on your preferred podcast platform.
