  • The Little Red Hen... Yes... Seriously

    Seriously?  Yes, seriously.  Steve recorded the 1918 version of the folktale "The Little Red Hen."  The source says it's English, Wikipedia says it's Russian.  For July 4th, we're calling it American.  Steve found out that his kids had never heard this story about self-reliance, DIY and independence, and he thinks there's some kind of conspiracy afoot.  So here it is, in hopes that no child in the podcasting community will miss out on this simple story about doing all the work yourself and reaping the benefits. 

    Happy Independence Day! 

    BTW, there are multiple formats of the story at Project Gutenberg.


  • Updates and a Feed Correction

    This brief update is mostly to let listeners know that episodes are no longer being posted to the feed at http://prometheusradiotheatre.com/?feed=rss.  That's exclusively our blog feed now.  Podcasts will be on http://prometheus.rnn.libsynpro.com/rss.

    I also mention the book Getting Things Done, by David Allen, which I recommend to anyone who's feeling a bit out of control of all the STUFF they want to accomplish. 

    Finally, there are coupons available on Smashwords so that you can buy Firebringer Press ebooks for the reduced price of $2.50.  These are good through June 25th.  We'll probably keep generating new ones, so check the Prometheus blog if you miss the date.

    A note from the author:

    Here we return to my North Carolina heritage.  The story of the light at Maco Station has been told many times in the last century and a half.  I first discovered it in one of my grandmother's books of ghost stories, An Illustrated Guide to Ghosts and Mysterious Occurences in the Old North State, by Nancy and Bruce Roberts.  I love train stories, so it's always been one of my favorites, and Prometheus's rendition embroiders on it, adding some history and some melodrama along the way.

Wilson is Professor Pierson, and Chris Carothers is the Stranger.  Also stars John Van Blarcom, Renee Wilson, Cindy Woods, Cindy Shockey, Ethan Wilson, Christian Wilson, John Weber and Renfield.  Sharon Van Blarcom and Lew Aide provided tech support, with Ethan Wilson and Chris Shockey on foley, Cindy Woods producing and Steven H.
