    Legacy – Post-Season 1 Announcement

    9 January 2022 Post-Season 1 Announcement I hope you enjoyed this first season of Legacy.  At this point, the show will take a small hiatus. But if you are Following or Subscribed to the show, stick around! In March, in this same feed, a new podcast of short audio fiction, Scenes & Moments, will premiere, posting new episodes twice per week. Unlike Legacy, each 6-10 minute episode will be a stand-alone work, quite different in tone and style from Legacy.  I’m betting you’ll like it.    Scenes and Moments: https://waywordsstudio.com/podcasts/scenes-and-moments/ Legacy: https://waywordsstudio.com/podcasts/legacy-podcast/   After a Scenes & Moments season, Legacy will return for Season 2, which will track my progress in building a great work. I’m certain it will go well. . . . Want more now? If you haven’t subscribed to our main program, The Waywords Podcast, check the show notes and go find it now to get explorations of a wide variety of literature out there. And our website has a ton of other content, audio and written.    The Waywords Podcast: https://waywordsstudio.com/podcasts/waywords-podcast/   So thank you for listening to this first audio fiction production from Waywords Studio. Between now and March, I imagine a few bonuses and surprises will drop, too. We’ll be back soon.  === Show Home Page: https://waywordsstudio.com/podcasts/legacy-podcast/  Legacy is a production of Waywords Studio (https://waywordsstudio.com).

    Waypoint: Theophile Gautier’s “Clarimonde”

    23 December 2021 WayPoint - Theophile Gautier's "Clarimonde" A reading of Clarimonde, an appropriately creepy story befitting the tradition of Winter Solstice ghost stories. This story in French is titled La Morte Amoureuse. For Waywords Podcast subscribers, think of this as a moment of shifting. In contrast to the idea of captivity explored by Chopin in "The Story of An Hour," Gautier turns his ideas about upon a very different power dynamic. How do these two viewpoints interact in terms of the protagonist's motivation and their psychological understanding of what possesses them? For Legacy subscribers, this Gautier narrative seems to parallel some of my musings in recent episodes about inspiration. For fans of vampires, recognize how old the legends are! This story dates to 1836. Stoker's Dracula, by contrast, was written in 1897. The English translation for this work is by Lafcadio Hearn, c. 1882. Here is the epitaph from the story in the original French: Ici gît Clarimonde Qui fut de son vivant La plus belle du monde. Finally, though the convention in Gautier's time was to anonymize place names (i.e. "The village of S---"), for the reading, I have added place names suitably general which better leant themselves to the oral telling. === https://waywordsstudio.com Complete Resources:  https://waywordsstudio.com/podcasts/waywords_podcast/waypoint-gautier-clarimonde/ Read the Story (pdf): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dvk9S7fU01mcU7bddLS7I4rq-syq1L4H/view?usp=sharing  CHAPTERS *This story was not originally printed in Chapters or sections, but I have named and inserted these only for the convenience of listeners.  00:00:00     Intro 00:00:30     Clarimonde - Framing 00:05:04     First Meeting; An Assignment 00:34:54     Second Meeting; A Death 00:53:38     Third Meeting; A Departure 01:07:35     A Double Life; Blood 01:17:24     A Final Meeting: Loss 01:25:15     Outro === The Waywords Podcast is the primary program of Waywords Studio (https://waywordsstudio.com).
