Welcome to Poets at War, a podcast documenting the brood of writers, where art, theology, philosophy, and fun beckon your ears.In this episode, Joshua David Ling hosts another Broodcast, where members of the Brood gather to share their latest creative writings and pitches. Joshua and Daniel kick things off by answering a challenge to pitch a D&D-themed cop show, resulting in "DNDPD" and a cozy mystery involving a bookstore-owning Dungeon Master. Ian then shares a thrilling and terrifying chapter from his story "Heart of the Stars," featuring giant spiders, a wizard named Azariah, and a very helpful cat named Fred. Abby brings a fun, urban fantasy vibe with "The Lightning Night," a story about an airport security guard dealing with Fae hooligans trying to smuggle swords through a checkpoint. Finally, Joshua reads a gripping chapter from Marty Francom's Civil War-era story, exploring the sobering reality of war fever.You too can be a part of the brood of writers and Poets at War.
