Want to Play?
Everything is so much more fun when you have someone to play with...including making a podcast.
If you have a great idea for a theme that's perfect for Boomers, I'd love to hear from you.
​
So far, co-hosts have joined me for podcasts on:
-
Poetry for Valentine's - written by listeners
​​
As you can see - the field is wide open. Bring your love of chatting, some connections to interesting guests and let's play.
​
Email a brief description of your proposal to: stories@boomerbedtimestoryradio.com

We're looking for Storytellers & Writers
Every month we have a theme and we're looking for creative storytellers and artists to play along with us.
​
What is required?
-
Your story must be original and it must be true. As we are gathering the stories of the Boomer(ish) generation, we want your real stories--not excerpts from your novel.
-
Your story must be connected to the theme
-
Your story must have a beginning, middle and end.
-
Your story is about 3 to 5 minutes long when read aloud. ​
How do I record my story?
-
Start by telling us your name and where you are currently living. Then tell us the title of your story. Finally tell/read your story.
-
Record your story on an audio app on your computer or phone. If you make a mistake, just go back to the beginning of that sentence or section and redo it. That makes it easy to edit.
Tips for best audio:
-
If you are recording your story on a phone, do not hold it, but put it on a stand or table.
-
Do not wave your hands around - you are likely to bang something - and every bang will be recorded.
-
Listen to the room. Are there noises that you can control? A noisy fridge? A fan? Turn those off. Noises you can't control? A busy street? Close the windows or wait for a quieter time of day.
-
Listen to your recording before you send.
​
I'm not a geek! What can I do?
-
If you having problems doing this yourself, or the audio quality is bad, send us an email and we will organize a zoom call to record your story. But give us plenty of time. These stories all need to be edited into the podcast.
How do I apply?
Send your recording or a letter of interest telling us a bit about yourself to: stories@boomerbedtimestoryradio.com
