FW Presents

Welcome back to The Mirror Factory! In this episode, Max Romero is joined by a very special guest — Fire and Water OG Rob Kelly! Rob brings to the Factory a favorite passage from his favorite book; W. Somerset Maugham's literary classic, "The Razor's Edge." Together Rob and Max will discuss why this passage is so meaningful to Rob, the evolving nature of spirituality, and how home can be a very different place than where you started. Rob will read his passage for our listeners, and then it's off to the Mail Room for your listener's comments!

Today, Xum briefly talks about how he had discovered Ms. Fox and her music, and then dives into her cover of Andy McCoy's "The Best Is Yet to Come," the tenth track of her sophomore self-titled album -- and explains why this particular song holds a special place in his heart.

Then, Anj will read his passage for our listeners.

It's the premiere of a brand-new show on The Fire and Water Podcast Network — literally! Join us for The Mirror Factory, a literary podcast hosted by Max Romero and featuring a different special guest on each episode. Guests will tell us about a favorite passage from a novel, novella, or short story — and why it means so much to them — and then give a special reading of that passage for listeners.

In this first episode, Max explains why books are so important to him, why he could never destroy a book (except when he does), and how that makes him think of Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451." Then, Max reads a passage from this sci-fi classic that is both terrifying and, somehow, hopeful.
