December 19, 2022 Anklecast 49: The Spirit Of Christmas
Back in 2009, Rish and I put together a Christmas special on the
Dunesteef called "The Spirit of Christmas." It was an audiodrama, which
is a bit of a useless beast when it comes to writing. You can just as
readily publish an audiodrama script as you can a screenplay. However, I
didn't want the story to go to waste because I liked it a great deal,
so I converted it from script to short story. I present the finished
product to you today, and it's coming to you on the...13th anniversary
of the original. Wow, I'm getting old.
Merry Christmas, Happy
Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Festive Festivus, and Happy New Year to all! I
hope your new year will be bright and wonderful, and I hope that you
enjoy the story.
After the story, Rish Outfield (he's back from
Europe!) and I talk about changing the story from script to prose...at
least, when we're not being distracted by a thousand tangents we do.

November 11, 2022 Anklecast 48: Door Approach
In rural Central America, two missionaries arrive at a woman's house to share a message from Jesus, however, they might not be what they seem and may be there for an ulterior motive...
Afterward, I discuss the story with...no, not Rish. He bailed on me. Spurned my entreaties. Had better things to do. I discuss the story with Marshal Latham, because Marshal has a special connection to the tale.

October 10, 2022 Anklecast 47: Young Blue Eyes
When Frank Sinatra reached his 50th birthday, despite being on top of the world, he had a hard time with the milestone. However, his muse paid him a visit that day and brought him a special gift.
Announcer Man and I got together again, and we invited Rish along to talk about the story and even more about all the things going on these days, and what I've learned about improving my writing and maximizing my output. Hope you enjoy it.
Tena Kolokowski, and Rish Outfield provide voices
for the story. I hope y'all enjoy it, and please come over and support the
show on Patreon.

September 08, 2022 Anklecast 46: Eye-opening and the Relaunch of the Anklecast
I got together with Announcer Man and Rish Outfield, and we put together a fun episode of the show for y'all. It's the first monthly installment of the relaunched Anklecast.
Today's story is called "Eye-opening". In it, a woman who has suffered a heavy loss looks for help in dealing with her grief, but the healing doesn't go as she expected for anyone.
Renee Chambliss, Marshal Latham, and Rish Outfield all provide voices for the story, and making his podcast debut is Little Anklevich. I really hope y'all enjoy the show, and please come over and support the show on Patreon.

March 19, 2021 Anklecast 45: Party Girl and the Great Texas Arctic Blast Freeze Out of 2021
It's another episode of the Anklecast. I'm going to do one every month, and, well...I barely made it in time, but here we are.
Today's story is "Party Girl." It's one that I wrote just last year as I was working my way towards 300,000 words.
After the story, I made a sort of vlog of my experiences in the Arctic Blast that froze Texas last week. It was an interesting month for sure, especially that week. If you're interested in that stuff, stick around after the story to hear all about it.
Anyhow, here's the Anklecast. No schmutz on the lens this time either!
Or, you could just listen to the audio of the episode here, but I think you might miss out a little on the snow video.

January 21, 2021 Anklecast 44: Active Shooter Training and Date Night
I swore I was going to do it. You didn't think I would. In fact, you
warned me not to, but I did it anyways. I made another episode of the
Anklecast.
Today's story is "Active Shooter Training." Oh, and I also threw in a little bitty story as an appetizer called "Date Night."
After
the stories, I talk a little bit about my goals for the year. I suppose
I really ought to do a post where I put them out for all to see and
hold me accountable. I guess, watch for that.

December 22, 2020 Anklecast 43: Taking A Left Turn
Six Christmas stories over on the Dunesteef just wasn't enough, so I decided that I would give y'all one more. It's a story I wrote earlier this year about James, a guy whose Christmas plans get ruined, so he volunteers to work someone's shift at his job to give them a chance at having a merry Christmas. He thinks he knows how his night will end, but someone has a different idea, and it's going to take a left turn before
the night is through.

October 17, 2018 Anklecast 42: There Goes My Life
Rish Outfield has been bugging me to do an episode in which I talk about the emotional toll that it takes on a parent to have their child go off to college and essentially leave the family for good to start their own life and possibly their own family one day. Well, I resisted the peer pressure as long as I could, but when he called me a poopoo head, it was more than I could bear, so I caved in and made the episode. Here is the result, what is probably a far too intimate glimpse into my life. Hope you like what you see...

October 16, 2018 Anklecast 41: Some Heavy Talk, Part II
I finish the story of my weight loss journey, then talk about the theory behind it. It's something that I'm really passionate about, but I know that not everybody cares so much. So, I won't be too upset if you skip it. I feel like I've finally found the key, and I want everyone who might be in a similar situation as me to also know it. It's all about hormones folks. Anyway, watch the show if you're interested. I'll be back with something completely different next time, but I'll probably come back to this subject again eventually when I finish losing all the weight.

June 22, 2018 Anklecast 40: Some Heavy Talk, Part 1
In today's episode, Big tells the beginning of the story that he is right in the middle of living. It's a bit of a weight loss journey combined with a bit of paradigm shifting journey. Sadly, he blabbed so long that he couldn't tell it all, so he will be back again (eventually) to tell you part two, and if it goes as well as this one, part three on another day.
