This week, I have a mix of stories and poetry for everyone. They are all relatively short so I have eight different writers to offer you. They are all fiction of one kind or another and three poems by very good writers.

This week I have three stories and a poem for you. The first story is special because I talked the author into reading it for us while I recorded the session. It is special because he is from England and I recorded the story as we were talking on Teams from across the Atlantic. Warning, this story has some language that might not be right for children under 17 years of age. The second story is about a childs frustration with adults, a slightly morbid poem and a scary sea story. Then I give you Brigett Flynn from the Irish Rovers Unicorn album to top it all off.

This week, I bring you two poems, although the last piece might not be considered a poem by some. I also added an old Irish song to end the show. I hope everyone enjoys.

This week, I have one poem and two stories for everyone. The poem is about the desert and the firsrt story is about a tree and the lives of it and the humans who looked after it. The last story is a short science fiction story that is scary and heart wrenching.

The week, I offer you the change in venue. This episode is for telling stories going forward. I have two short stories for you to listen to. I hope you like them and will return again next week when I will have one or two more.

This week, it's mostly about the environment and social injustices, with a little politics in between. In the second half, I give you a satirical article about the attitudes about global warming.

This week, I didn't have a lot of news stories to give everyone. It seems that climate change is taking up most of the news feeds and I am sure everyone is sick of hearing about it, and just wanting things to cool off. So, I offer you a fictional Irish story I wrote back in January to try and bring a little smile to everyone as we all endure the summer heat instead of a rant in the Op Ed.

This is a special episode dedicated to the LGBTQ+ peoples around the world. I bring attention to a handful of related news and blog articles but the main piece is my long interview with Mr. James Finn, a noted activist in the Op Ed. Please give a listen as this topic is very important for all of us to learn to get along with our fellow humans as the world crumbles around us.

This week, I am all about climate change and envirnmental articles. I have a couple of racism articles and political pieces as well. The Op Ed is more climate change with my rant and an article from Heated that I read to everyone. My challenge this week is for everyone to take notice and help with global warming in some way.

I posted this episode a day early as I will be out of the office all day tomorrow. It is another mixture of news articles about climate change, racism, social injustice and politics. The Op Ed is pure politics with a funny blog article that I read a teaser amount of.
