( You should just pretend voice…

Audio Bio: Nikki Borgel
10 Characterizing and Dramatic Micro Stories About Nikki the Unexpected Podcaster My older brother was the one who originally suggested that my parents name me Nikki. My mom fell in love with the idea because she hated the previously suggested Nicole option. Despite being the one who named me, the first thing my brother ever called me was Nickelodeon, and to this day everyone just assumes my name is Nicole so I’ve started answering to literally any variation of Nick. The first time…
Audio Bio: Sarah French
SOUND: MELODIC PIANO MUSIC BEGINS AND REMAINS IN THE BACKGROUND SARAH There is a futility to redacting everything I have ever read into one representative title. It’s almost laughable, the breadth and depth of things I have read. But, invariably, once someone finds out I’m an editor I get the question. “What’s your favorite book?” Either that or “Will you look at my manuscript?” I’m not sure which is worse….

Audio Bio: Mitch Roshannon
Hey, my name is Mitch Roshannon. I consider myself a writer by trade, though I’ve done and still do a lot of different jobs to make ends meet.

Audio Bio: Caroline Beohm
Hi. My name is Caroline. When I was 5 years old, I watched Confessions of a Teenaged Drama Queen, a movie featuring Lindsey Lohan, in which, during the last 25 minutes feature an extremely dramatic scene where Lohan falls backward into a shopping cart, mid performance. Almost immediately after, I grabbed our Little Tikes shopping cart, hopped on the arm of the couch, and fell back into it. Only, there wasn’t a movie producer, stunt…
Audio Bio: Natalie Arm
My name is Natalie. And my journey to literacy started with not being able to get that name just right going around in a circle at gymnastics class proclaiming just who we were. My class could introduce themselves by name and I could not get those three syllables down. I would go home and practice and I would go to class and lay dormant, not quite confident enough but slowly building. The day…
