This is Michael Mau. Creator of the low-fi DIY podcast A Blind Play. While that show ran for three seasons – AND YOU CAN STILL catch it on all of your podcatchers – I’ve got something new for you.

A few months ago, I began teaching at Studio South Atlanta in Sharpsburg, GA. When five people signed up for my first voiceover class, I decided to teach by doing. So in addition to working on audiobook narration skills and commercials and film voiceover, I did what I love to do. I wrote. A scripted podcast A family friendly one. So everyone in class could voice characters, practice their skills, work as a team, and have clips for their reels.

Creating characters based on my students’ input, I produced FOUR episodes of the show The Bradshaws Versus Bigfoot in which a teenage boy goes looking for his presumed-dead father, a amateur Bigfoot hunter.

And now the show, and my VO students, are ready for an audience. That’s you.

When triggered by a challenge from her peers, the daughter of a former military interrogator puts her father's inhumane lessons to the test, endangering her friends in order to protect herself.

“Little Bird” is adapted from the short story of the same name which won the Black Warrior Review Fiction Contest in 2014. I wrote the first draft of the story in grad school in a class titled The Literature of War. The title comes from an Army cadence call in which the speaker lures a beautiful bird to the window sill and kills it. I was inspired by the grotesque and inhumane images from Abu Ghraib prison. I couldn’t help imagining those guards who treated others in such a despicable manner going home to their own families.

The story has been adapted into a staged reading as well as a screenplay. This episode contains profanity and adult situations as well as suggestions of abuse. It is intended for listeners over the age of 13.

A little bird with a yellow bill
Was sittin' on my window sill
I lured her in with a piece of bread
And then I smashed her little head
—Army cadence call
