As Read By Me
Welcome to As Read By Me, the podcast where writers read and readers listen. As Read By Me celebrates the art of storytelling, with author-voiced essays, poems and stories, artfully presented to invigorate your imagination. This podcast was born with two interlocking goals; to help writers share their work with new audiences and to expose readers to an eclectic and ever-growing collection of stories, poems and essays, that might otherwise not be discovered. Each episode is a stand alone collection of writing, so feel free to start enjoying episodes at random. Most episodes are around 15 minutes in length and are perfect for your next drive, walk or nap in the hammock. We are attempting to keep this podcast commercial free via the ”value for value” model, as made infamous by Adam Curry, aka ”The Podfather.” It‘s simple, if you receive value from this show, please consider sending some value back. And that can be in the form of recommending us to friends, recommending a writer to submit a story or by sending us a donation by clicking the ”donate” button on AsReadByMe.com or through Patreon at Patreon.com/asreadbyme. Thanks for listening!

Episode 101:
We are very excited to bring you the debut episode of As Read By Me. First, we explore direct democracy in action with an amusing tale of local government in a small Massachusetts beach town, entitled “Go To Hull” by Peter Waitze. Then, Paul Camarata shares his poem “A Song for the Hammerhead” which whimsically springboards off the old adage “when you’re a hammer, all you see is nails.” And finally, a plea for non-partisanship from Don Tollefson, in an essay entitled “Always Avoiding Cooperation.”
