Simmons Here And Now

This week, Alex and Chris launch a month-long workshop, the “HOW TO TELL THE DAMN STORY SUMMER SERIES.”  Each week in July, we will join with special guests to focus on a different aspect of the creative process.  This episode features non-fiction pop culture king Caseen Gaines and spoken word poet and children’s book creator Toney Jackson to explore inspiration.  We'll discus where it comes from, how to work with it, respect it, and keep it flowing so you can Tell Your Damn Story!  By the way, this series takes up episodes 146, 147, 148, and 149, creating an opportunity for us to use episode 150 as StoryFest (the three-sectioned, weekend long interview clips package). That would be a cool way to celebrate this milestone. What do you think?  Leave your thoughts in our comments section.  Or write to us at:  TTDSOnAir@gmail.com * Want to be more a part of this?  Send in your methods for nurturing inspiration.  Where do you find it?  What do you do with it?
