Last year when I was a guest<\/a> on Hour of the Wolf<\/a> I read my 9\/11-inspired story Until Forgiveness Comes<\/em> on the air. Jim Freund liked it so much and liked the radio-y\/NPR-esque-ness that he suggested we should record it as a radio play. I am all for that, so I wrote a script and we\u2019ve been slowly, slowly working our way toward making that happen.<\/p>\n

Jim will produce, we\u2019ll likely get studio time at WBAI, and the fabulous Andrea Hairston will direct. She has some actors in mind, Jim keeps insisting I should do a part, and I am crossing my fingers for a guest appearance by Margo Adler (the original host of Hour of the Wolf and fancy NPR contributor). But I know we\u2019ll need to bring in a few actors to read, and it would be nice if those actors could be paid. This is the part that\u2019s holding up the works, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping to get that all resolved because I would really love to have the play ready to go on next year\u2019s anniversary. Despite the fact that many of us here in NYC are truly Not On about the spectacle that these anniversaries have become, it\u2019s not likely to get any better next year due to the West\u2019s love of base 10. So I\u2019d like to make a small contribution to the conversation that isn\u2019t about politics or publicity.<\/p>\n

Somehow the money will emerge. That or we\u2019ll find really excellent actors who don\u2019t mind working for free. Still, I\u2019d rather give everyone involved something for their time.<\/p>\n

You can still read Until Forgiveness Comes<\/em> at Strange Horizons<\/a> or you can listen to the second half<\/a> of my appearance on HotW where I read the story then take calls.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back on the show next Saturday with my writing group, Altered Fluid<\/a>. They will be critiquing a story of mine live on the air. At 5am… Yes, there will be a podcast you can download later, but you’ll miss the call-in part!<\/p>\n
