Some folks have asked me, so you listen to podcasts. what do you listen to? Wow, that is a several post response just to scratch the surface of all I have listened to here, there, and everywhere. Let's stick with novels, and let us narrow it down to the first two podcast novels I ever listened to for starters.
Last summer I was surfing the web wave and I discovered the wonders of podcast in more forms then I had ever thought. Novels? Really? Then I picked up on a column written by two ladies called, She's Write About That, and I noticed they both were podcasting a novel. I kinda, sort knew that, but I was kinda always surfing, never stopping long enough to really look. I was still kinda like, whoa, podcast a novel, you can do that? So I stopped, and I listened
The two culprits in question are Michele Bekemeyer and Jennifer Hudock. I listened to the first episodes of both and thought.. oh, that is what you mean by a podcast novel. I had no idea. It was cool, so I listened some more, and then some more. Then I went out and listened to others as well. But that was the beginning for me.
You can go to Michele's website and listen in on Trapping a Duchess. A romance story, if I may, with a bit of spice to it. In other words, it has adult themes and is for mature audiences only. It's pretty dang good too.
Also, you can surf over to Jenny's website and catch a listen to Goblin Market. This is a fantasy story that will keep you thinking, and it has bad, nasties in it too. Another fine podcast novel.
And.. that was the beginning of it for me. I like both of these podcasts and if you haven't tried 'em out, give it a go. They are free and you might dig the stories. If you like em, drop a buck or two in the virtual hat for all the hard work these ladies have put into the podcasts.
I think the novel podcasting is going to continue to grow in popularity. It's such a neat way to experience a great story.
