I recently started a weekly podcast based on a novel that I wrote. The novel is music-centric, and the podcast features the tunes discussed in the chapter. The podcast and novel aren’t directly related to protest music, but they will delve into social issues. A couple of chapters/episodes will specifically deal with socially conscious issues.
Here is a synopsis:
Endless Nameless is lying on a hospital deathbed and his wife is expecting. He will most likely die before she gives birth. Despite this fact, he desires that his child be given an opportunity to get to know his dad. With this objective, he sets to write his thoughts and life lessons so that he can make connections with his soon-to-be-born child.
Part of Endless Nameless’ dilemma is that he is not very eloquent and his memory of facts can be a bit hazy. That being said, he does have the ability to associate major life events and memories with music. With that in mind, he decides to use songs as the backdrop to tell his story. It is like a memoir told through a literary mix tape. It is an epic soundtrack to a mundane existence.
