À propos de ce contenu audio

 Each episode offers a glimpse of this day in literary history and ends with a poem . This podcast is inspired by The Writer's Almanac. It has a few modifications from the original: the music, host, and sign-off are different; the poem relates to the day in some way and is always in the public domain/fair use; and the Weekend Edition show notes encourage listeners' own writing by including writing prompts. While AI tools assist in producing the podcast, the final content is reviewed, edited, and read by a human. To show your support: follow, like, subscribe, donate.The Writer's Archive Podcast Art
