I've been hosting a different podcast for over ten years. I'm finally branching out but I had no idea what to do. While catching up on the podcasts I listen to I was reminded of "Start With This" a podcast from the creators of "Welcome to Nightvale". Its a writing prompt podcast. Follow me as I follow them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here's an Idea

The inspiration for this show: http://www.nightvalepresents.com/startwiththis Consume: Listen to The Worst Idea of All Time and think about how it’s specific, novel, practical, and repeatable. I listened to the 11/28/2020 episode Emmanuelle in Space Create: Take a podcast (or any artistic idea) idea you have and walk through the four litmus tests. Specificity: Write the one sentence elevator pitch for your podcast. Novelty: Write one sentence about what makes your podcast different. Repeatability: Write one to two sentences to describe what Episode 40 would sound like, or what the arc of your limited series would be. Practicality: Make a list of equipment, people, and how much time you’ll need for each episode Episode art: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/light-bulbs-light-bulb-light-energy-1125016/ Episode Soundtrack: https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/royalty-free-music/download/homework/353 Itstartedwiththispodcast@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/itstartedwiththis Hosted on Acast.

A Call Back Track

The inspiration for this show: http://www.nightvalepresents.com/startwiththis Consume: Read Ballad in A by Cathy Park Hong. Try to read it aloud if you can! Then check out this short feature article on Cathy Park Hong and her use of the univocalic. Create: Write a 4-line, rhyming, univocalic poem. That means you pick a vowel and use only that vowel when you write.

A man, says cat, taps back a hat Has a damn mad clapback. E The men tell her three trees bleed Reverent she sees resplendent scenes Ends meet when green beds sleep Events flee them where seeds keep I In this third trip I trick him Fish in thin film flip it Tipping it till it sings in fifty Thrifty strings spilling things O Dog stood on top of stoop to frown Blood flows soon slow down Brown dog took down two Crooks Town Clown soon too shook U Bumpy Stump chucks grubs, slugs Must flush up stunk plus puss Stump puts up stuff, crud, cuss Pump Stump mucks pulp mush Hosted on Acast.

Stillness

The inspiration for this show: http://www.nightvalepresents.com/startwiththis Consume: Night Vale Live Ghost Stories Create: Record a 1-2 min piece that is at least 25% silent.

The Things We Say

The show that fuels this show: http://www.nightvalepresents.com/startwiththis Consume: Listen to Episode 1 of Steal The Stars, a podcast by Mac Rogers. Pay close attention to each line of dialogue and what it does for the story. Create: Write a 200-word, two-character dialogue. If you’re writing for audio, the recorded piece should come out to about 2 minutes. The first line of your piece must be, “Put the milk on the table” and the last line must be, “We are really only at the beginning.” Keep the purpose of the dialogue in mind as you write. If you’re feeling ambitious, try it again with a different reason for the dialogue. background music and ambient sounds: https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/ Itstartedwiththispodcast@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/itstartedwiththis Hosted on Acast.

This is not a game

Consume: Episode 49 “Re: The Moon” of the podcast, Imaginary Advice Create: Play the game that Ross Sutherland sets up in this episode of Imaginary Advice, “Re: The Moon.” Create three different statements about the moon following the convention, “The moon is a [adjective] [noun].” The adjectives and nouns can’t come from you. Flip through a book, use a random word generator, or use some other source. Then use those statements as the first sentence of three different paragraphs that tell a story Word generator I used: https://randomwordgenerator.com/ Itstartedwiththispodcast@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/itstartedwiththis Hosted on Acast.

This is a Cheap Thing

Consume: Listen to the fiction podcast “Gone,” about a person who finds themself alone in the world after everyone else has vanished. It’s entirely written, narrated, and produced by Sunny Moraine. Create: Find two items in your kitchen and figure out what noises you can make with them. Let that sound inspire you. Write and record a 2-minute audio story incorporating this sound.
