Because we recorded this episode on the last day of August, we are feeling the pull for a change in the weather AND a change in the prompt.  So this episode is brought to you by, AUTUMN/FALL.

That's right. If you look in the back catalog you may find a previous episode with a "fall" prompt but, fear not, this is a new day and these are new songs. We're different people now. And so are you. Write that song, get that sweater ready and we'll see you there. Thanks for listening!

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys OR podcasters who just barely know what they're doing. 

This is the repost of the previous episode that was experiencing technical difficulties. 

Willie Nelson is a dang American Treasure with a catalog of hits never to be forgotten. And then us two PLay Arounds thought we'd try our hand at being the road doggin' outlaw like he is in this one. 

Like the beach. Muscle Beach, but on a podcast, but not sweaty, but not in California, and not actual muscles. 

The prompt? Muscle. Cuz why? 

Cuz. Why. Not. 

Give a listen, feel inspired knowing if these two yahoos can crank out some songs, anybody can. 

Plath, Lorca, Whitman, OH MY! And now..the Dunbar sisters. Yes, indeed, 'tis POEM week and this is the poem prompt for the poem episode. 

We're back from summer break and diving into the deep end with this week's Prompt: Poem. 

Who didn't love the poetry portion of your beloved Literature classes? Who among us doesn't long for those days of iambic pentameter, sonnets and haikus? 

Well, we didn't do any of that for this episode, but we DID write some songs. You can take up the poetic torch and get more into the genre as you so choose. Write on, dear listeners!

Hope and Emily are taking a brief summer holiday and be back with a brand new episode August 17th.

Hope has a new album, "Happily Ever Elsewhere," out on all streaming platforms August 1st if you are so interested. Thanks for being awesome. See you soon!

If you're lucky to have saved up enough PTO that you're still on vacation, we got you. This one's the 4th of July just two weeks after the federal holiday. The freedom train is still going. Listen in. 

Of course this one goes to eleven! Of course Hope and Emily are writing songs to the prompt, "Spinal Tap?" Tune in to find out what happens. And thank you for listening!!! 

LUCKY EPISODE NUMBER 20 for Season three. I think they mean, it folks. 

You know we mean it when we ask Ed Sheeran to be our prompt and he totally said yes (Ok we didn't ask him, but still he would've totally said yes). 

Listen in as Hope and Emily take on a Pop songwriting master and try to walk 3:30 minutes in his shoes. We loved this prompt. Now, go write your own Ed-inspired song. 

"Be the window, not the light." THat's what we always say over here at Prompt Queens, but also we didn't actually say that at all during this episode, but it was implied because the prompt is WINDOW, y'all. Listen in as Hope and Emily bring new work to every episode. Remember, the prompt's not the thing, the song is the thing and thanks for listening. 

This is "Raise a Glass" two ways. Hope and Emily take the prompt in two very different directions and invite listeners to take the prompt and make it their own. Listen in to this new installment of two songwriters just hashing it out for better or worse week after week in service to the work. High five.
