I love telling stories. I tell what some would call lies. I have always had trouble distinguishing between what happened and what might have happened. And I remain unconvinced that this distinction, for my purposes, matters. This podcast is a weekly story from my life that I tell as accurately as I see fit.

Enjoyed on Afterthought want more!

I really enjoyed some of the episodes you aired on Afterthought. Been listening to Catching up from the beginning, up to Ep 150. Great stuff it really holds up. Love to hear your WSWCL series too. Thank you, Drew Brooks

Trending...

I just noticed WSWCL was on the trending now list on iTunes. I have been listening for a few years and realized I had never rated it (bad podcast listener!). Sorry. These short stories have an elegant flow and wicked wit I just love! Mike is charming, his voice is soothing and I hope he keeps telling his lies for a long time.
