Detailed Episode Themes For Season II

Show airs Mondays at 4 on Kent Black Squirrel Radio.

--Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll: Stories for this episode can feature one, two, or all three instances listed. Relationships, parties, and festival shows all fall into the mix. Ideally, we are looking for a story about virginity; a story about the first time getting high; a story about the first rock concert ever attended; and one final story that puts all the pieces together. Submissions are closed for this episode. Show airs 10/16.

--Coffeeshops, Bars, Delicatessans: Stories that are set in those venues. These stories merely have to take place, at some point, in a coffeeshop. Ryan is producing a documentary on the differences between Starbucks and Susan's. Submissions close 10/16. Show airs 10/23.

--The Supernatural: Imagine sitting around a campfire, but instead of fire, it's a radio [well, not really a radio, but a computer linked to The Postmodern Experience]. Ghost stories can be true or imagined. PME is producing Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" with Charles Parsons and Nicholas DiSabatino. Submissions close 10/23. Show airs 10/30.

--Breaking up, Breaking Away: This could be a mental, physical, or emotional break down. And, obviously, dumping or getting dumped applies. Writers can also break away from the norm. Any story in which you stepped above and beyond the call of rational thought. Stories about braking also accepted. Ryan is doing a documentary on a benign bike gang in Kent. Submissions close 10/30. Show airs 11/06.

--Family Holidays: We all have some wacky, zany story about getting together with the fam. Has your family created its own holiday? This episode will air between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Submissions close 11/13. Show airs 11/20.

--Benevolence/Church: Good deeds and such. For this episode, we're hoping for the helping hand to guide us along. Do you volunteer? Do you like helping people? Do you hate helping people? Then this one's for you, chap. Also, stories from Holy Ground. They can be serious, philosophical, or satirical. Or you can just tell a story. Submissions close 11/20. Show airs 12/04.

Keep in mind, these are only prompts. If you have a story that does not necessarily fit within the criteria which we mentioned, send it anyway. If the story stands out, it will be used.

Submissions can be sent to postmodern.experience@gmail.com.

Hit us back with questions, as always.

Get writing and hope to hear from you soon.
