Prompt Queens

It's all Left Shark all the time this episode only we're not wearing costumes and it's not the Super Bowl and none of us are famous. Katy Perry is a great songwriter who has had amazing success writing some meaty, catchy as hell tunes and today we get to hang out with her muse. Have a listen, go back and listen if you haven't had a Katy Perry listening party lately. You can thank us later.

What do two songwriters do to make it tough on themselves? They choose the prompt, "30 words." But it was fun and we've missed you and it turned out to be a really cool prompt.

Do you have an epic timeless tale of revenge or love or falling off a cliff in a long dress? Me neither. But the Decemberists do, so fear not. We tackle this kickass band and either do them a service or a disservice with our attempts. But ya know what? WE had a great time doing it. Write those songs, humans! The world needs your feelings and stuff.

The Edit Episode has Hope and Emily revisiting old songs from the podcast and taking a stab at editing. Hope chose her song from the "Tents" episode and Emily chose her song from the "Trains" episode. Today you can listen in and here the old version, the new version and talk about what it's like reworking old work. It's the last episode of 2022 and next year starts a whole new chapter in Prompt Queens! Thanks for listening and we hope you bring your creativity with you into the new year!

"Please put a penny in the poor Prompt's hat." It is holiday season, the bells are ringing and the prompts are flowing red and green and tinsel-ly in the moonlight everybody. Hope and Emily try their hand at some holiday cheer using 1-4-5 chords as always. And, in the spirit of the season, THANK YOU to our listeners and friends for being so awesome and hanging out with us from Prompt to Prompt.

The girls are back. We knew they would be and they've written some sweet sweet sing along tunes for you and your's.

Who says a song needs to rhyme? Not us! We do what we want. And, on this episode, we chose not to rhyme. Do we love that choice? Yeah sure. Learning and growing and what not. To reach levels of non-rhyming songs such as Paul Simon's America, Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner," REM's "Sidewinder Sleeps." We love those songs and we think you're great.

And we're in crowns and sashes and dreaming of world peace, everyone. Thank you, as always, for listening!

Hold my turkey leg, we're going to Renaissance Fair.

In these final days when we are living squarely between the waining warmth of old September and the coming cold of old Frost McGee. Hope and Emily capture fall leaves in a bottle and never, not even once, bring up Pumpkin Spice anything. Enjoy.
