    Welcome to the latest episode of the Spun Today Podcast! In this episode, I dive deep into the highly anticipated semi-autobiographical film, "The Fabelmans," which provides a unique insight into the life of legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg.

    Next, I explore the historic SpaceX Starship launch, which, spoiler alert, ended in a fiery explosion. I share why it was still considered a successful mission and its implications for the future of space travel, making for a fascinating discussion that you won't want to miss.

  • #226 – Free-Writing Session (Short Stories, Pro Writing Aid, Fat Joe's Memoir and MORE!)

    In this episode I share my Writing stats for December of 2022 & January of 2023. I give you an update on my first anthology of short stories (coming soon). I share a writing tip that I picked up along the way and I tell you about what I've been reading. Lastly, I read and reflect on a free-writing piece, which MIGHT be found at: spuntoday.com/freewriting.

    The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing, but unlimited in scope. Give it a whirl.
