Ever wonder what your furniture really thinks about you? Ever wonder where that leftover cheeseball actually disappeared to? Good thing you've been invited to The Meeting.

I know what you're thinking. "What do gargoyles talk about when they get together?" I've looked into it. The result? Episode 2: chimeras, basilisks, griffins, and more!

What does it mean when there's a surly monkey, a mysterious voice, and a multi-dimensional rampage? It means it's time for season two of Roving Shorts. Enjoy this bite-sized opening episode.

Bonus episode! The author’s meaningful talk with AI, fandom, and the nature of hallucinations. Join me for the FINAL final episode of season one.

Come along for my season-final episode as I pack up my kitchen muses

and head off on summer vacation to Pacific Grove, CA and Quebec City,

CAN. Meet some of the imaginary friends who have coached my writing

all year, and listen in as we finally confront the concept of being

real versus being fictional.

Me: Hey, what do you do when you’ve been having this relentless inner dialogue, and you can’t seem to silence it?

Also me: You write a podcast episode about it.

Me again: ...No wait, it didn’t work. You’re still here.

Both of us: This time on Roving Shorts: maladaptive daydreaming, mind-reading devices,

and out-of-work literary actors run amok.

You: I’m in!

Me: Who said that?

This time on Roving Shorts: Shady YouTube channels, aggressive mimicry, and an artist’s

addiction to positive comments. Listen...while looking over your

shoulder, just in case.

This time on Roving Shorts: I went to my writers’ group, as usual, but guess what happened? Mad scientists, questionable apps, disembodiments, consciousness transfers, and body swaps! Did I go back the next week? You bet.

Ever wonder what it would be like to voice-generate real-life fantasyscapes and have them brought to your front door? To travel through them with your very own giant riding-tortoise? And to meet the algorithm, himself, who designed it all? We all have. Listen to the episode, "Gazebo", this time on Roving Shorts.
