WCA Ep. 27 – Nature v. Nurture
We tried something a bit different for this episode and staged a WRITE CLUB Salon. Our Favorite Londoner (TM), actor, presenter and teacher Clementine Wade was in town, but couldn’t make it to our show in regular time, so we brought the show to her. Or rather to actor and WCA regular Suehyla El-Attar’s living room, where we had some wine and some pleasant conversation before turning our hosts against each other in a battle of Nature versus Nurture.
Special thanks to Hilary K. and Melissa of Tenacious Threads for assistance with this episode.

WCA Ep. 25 – Rob Mosca
Rob Mosca is one of our favorite drinkers in Atlanta. He also happens to write a mean story and when he slid us a copy of “Paper or Plastic, Credit or Debit, Zombie or Vampire?” we had to put a voice to it. So we got our friend and WCA regular Bernie Clark to do that for us and we went off and shared a few rounds with Mosca to talk about the story, his writing style, and his recently published book, High Midnight, a “modern day supernatural Western.” Enjoy!
