Description: Writing Class Radio is a podcast that brings you true, personal stories written in an actual memoir writing class and ideas about how to write your own stories. Student Allison Langer loves the process of pouring her heart out on paper then reading it out loud. She’s all heart. Teacher, Andrea Askowitz, loves tearing our stories apart. She asks, “What is this story about?” and then helps to find the answer. She’s loves the craft, the art. This podcast is equal parts heart and art. In this episode, Allison and Andrea are talking about worlds again because Andrea got so excited by Nilsa’s story in Episode 29, where she brought us into the world of the hearing impaired. In class Andrea had us make a list of the worlds we live in. Then she said, “Pick one and take us into that world.” Allison wrote: single mom, tennis player, online dater, windsurfer, gym rat, health nut, tighty-whitey. Andrea wrote: mom, daughter, younger sibling, gemini, Miamian, bike rider, curly haired person, lesbian, softball lesbian. She tried to get as specific as possible. When she hit on softball lesbian, she decided to explore that world. The first story is by student Viccy Simon who takes us into her world of a minyan, which is a ten person Jewish prayer group. Then Andrea tells her story, Softball Lesbian. Thank you for listening to Writing Class Radio.
