One of the great things about hosting a podcast is guesting on other people's podcasts - and radio shows that are also podcasted! This episode features Elizabeth and Mark, both of whom were guests on Tammy Takaishi's Creative Peacemeal, and then were asked by the lovely Tammy to come on her show and interview her for her 100th episode! Here we present a segment of the full podcast. Then, Elizabeth and Mark were guests on the Fabulous 413 with the fabulous Kaliis and Monte - on NEPM radio here in the... 413... which also is available as a podcast after their initial air dates!

Hi and welcome to the season 5 premiere! We've got a treat for you! Elizabeth and Mark are joined by Jovanna Van Pelt and Richard Wayne Horton in a table reading of A Long Moment in the South, part of Richard's book Artists in the Underworld. The book is out on Human Error Publishing. Richard is a frequent contributor to Meat For Tea. (See also his Meat For Tea Press book Sticks and Bones!) We hope you enjoy this special recording of this excellent work. "Stories do what their roots tell them to do, and the roots run deep in these stories. The book starts with eleven published stories in the dark range, then goes on to “A Long Moment In The South,” flash fiction, set in three Texas towns from 1953 to 1957. A strong voice and a person to person talking style takes the reader inside the stories. "...razor sharp language..." –Amy Laprade, novelist. "...the driest sense of humor...this is a horse that leads YOU to water...and you drink it..." –Joshua Michael Stewart, poet.  You can get your copy of Artists in the Underworld at https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Underworld-2023-Richard-Horton/dp/1948521679 Do check out https://www.humanerrorpublishing.com and of course https://meatfortea.com ! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/meatforteacast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/meatforteacast/support
