One of my original short stories, "The Gun," can now be heard on the acclaimed storytelling podcast, RISK!
“The Gun” first found its voice on my award-winning extemporaneous podcast, 7 Minute Stories, and has now evolved for its debut on RISK!
In this extended version, I delve deeper into the complexities of growing up in a single-parent household, the challenges children face when divorced parents start new relationships, the critical issue of gun violence, and the intricacies of mental health.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with RISK! A heartfelt thank you goes to the RISK! team and creator Kevin Allison for embracing my story and extemporaneous storytelling style, Taj Easton for his exceptional direction & production work, and Shannon Cason for introducing me to the RISK! crew. Additionally, I want to extend a thanks to Ken Wendt (Audio Engineer / 7 Minute Stories), the original audio engineer for "The Gun," whose audio expertise played a pivotal role in bringing the story to life.
This extended version of "The Gun" will be available today Tuesday, December 5th, 2023 on all RISK! platforms and wherever podcasts are found.
Additionally, you can listen to the original version that appeared early in Season 1 of 7 Minute Stories.
