Hello 2023! I can’t think of a better way to start the year, than with the release of a new story podcast! Dropping this week over at Fantasy Magazine in the January Issue is an incredibly poignant and impactful story podcast that I had the immense honor and pleasure of narrating called Broodmare – written by Flossie Arend and produced by Skyboat Media.
This stirring fiction moves back and forth between two different timelines, all from the point of view of Marge. As a child, Marge discovers that she has a unique and powerful gift that not only can help save the life of the beautiful roan she is caring for, but can also be used years later to help countless women.
Broodmare begins on a lone country road in the middle of nowhere, in a car with two passengers who are embarking on an important mission. A mission that propels them straight for the border. This particular border, however, can seal their fate quicker than the blink of an eye, if even the slightest mistake is made. The tension is palpable. The road is vast. The people in need are many.
Throughout the 58 minutes or so of this story, we come to know and care for the rich characters that author Flossie Arend has so artfully crafted. From our main characters, Marge and Trace, to the woman in the grocery store, to Delores – who is always at the ready with a much needed hug, to the frightened women that Marge aids, to the beautiful roan that this moving story continues to shift back to, to Bill at the border, who thinks his mind is open and fair, yet he is unable to see Trace for who they really are, and finally – to the many people in Marge’s commune who work together tirelessly in a desperate effort to bring about change. By the time we reach the end of Broodmare, the journey has been felt, the road has been traveled, and hopefully, our minds have been opened … just a little bit more. I know mine has.
If you would like to find out more about Broodmare, it’s easy to do and won’t cost you a dime. Here’s how:
