Retro Reads with Sage Sage Mayer

Two stories of Halloween tales that feel vintage '80s have been written exclusively for Listeners of Retro Reads with Sage. The First story, GARBAGE NIGHT is written by Culliver Crantz of Fright Vision Books.  The second story is written by, my mom. She dabbles in storytelling from time to time. It's called THE GAME

Our special guest on the podcast is Marcos J. also known for his handle as that creepy-cool kid.  Marcos celebrates Halloween all year-'round and I would say an expert on the subject.  He performs the role of Gavin in The Game and the Trash Can in Garbage Night.

Happy Haunting.

It's Season 2 Episode 1 and our very special guest is actor, Paul-Mikel Williams.  We are so happy he agreed to do the podcast.  He is a multi-talented actor that has appeared in film and Tv and a great person too.  I loved this chat so much.

His career is moving pretty fast so you won't want to miss anything.   My Read in this episode is from the original Jurassic Park book written by Michael Crichton,  it's a monologue by Dr. Ian Malcom.  A fun fact about Dr. Malcolm is Mr. Chricton modeled him after himself. His thoughts, words, and actions are modeling the writer. Ah! Dr. Malcolm, the voice of reason!
