That's right, YWS Radio will be back August 9! The time? 5 pm EDT. The place? Earth.

For this month's episode, I am going to do something different. Instead of having a set agenda, Brad and I will be answering user questions. You can submit a question either by replying to this message or by PMing me. Since this is a writing site, all questions should be about writing!

Depending on how many questions we get, we'll start with call-ins sometime between 15 and 30 minutes past the hour. Feel free to call in to do a shoutout, or read a poem. The number to call in will be displaying on top of YWS during the show.

Also, the chat room will be back for the show for an hour before, an hour during, and an hour after (three in all!).

Oh no. D:

It's before I go back to lovely highspeed internet range. I don't know if I'll be able to listen when I'm still on dial up.

Oh well... there's always the next one.
How am I not myself?

[haha, Arizona has to have its own slot. xD Awesome.]

I have a question! Since monkeys can use their feet like hands, does that mean they could write with their feet?

Also! Do dollar store employees [or other national currencies] get an employee discount?

And Nate, I will love you forever if you somehow work in the phrase "cheeky wee monkeys" in reference to the listeners. ;D

Would asking if I can harass you and Brad on-air be not only self-defeating but insubordinate?

I'm glad YWS radio is finally online again!

We won't talk about my failed attempts to revive it, da?

hey. it'll be my first time listening to the show and i can't wait. but yeah, i was wondering if maybe on the show you could address the question of creating your own world and how to maintain stability within it and also how to make things add up. also. how do you do time transitions without coming right out and saying that time has passed? that's something that i think i'm getting better at, but which i still need advice on how to pull of.

Firestalker ->> That's because the Earth spins ;)

Quite seriously though, I do try to make the times as good as possible for the greatest number of people. 5 pm my time works out well since it'll be 10 pm in England, and early afternoon in the United States. It'll be early in eastern Australia, but 7 am is still doable. However, the times get changed every so often to better suit those who live in Australia and New Zealand, which should be better (though still not perfect) for you.
