Carey joins from his new Louisiana home with a full house tour, and Daniel pops in later to catch up on work, faith, and creative burnout.The conversation ranges from Joshua's church AV struggles (85-inch TVs vs. projectors) and his legendary key fob microchip disaster that totaled his Ford Escape, to a deep dive on the Scots language, the proper way to eat boudin chicken patties, and whether Minecraft counts as "cool." Joshua also unveils the hilarious original origin of Cyrus Jones — a weather-controlling farm girl who fights aliens — and his former plans to turn it into a 2D platformer. Plus: new gear, Narnia therapy, and why trade school isn't always the answer.Chapters: 00:00 — Intro & Recorded on Hazel's Birthday 00:31 — Opening Poem & War Zone 00:52 — Church AV, Big TVs, & Carrie's Move 05:00 — Conversion Vans, School Buses, & the Key Fob Calamity 12:48 — First Cars & Transmission Woes 16:40 — Joshua's Book Edits & Church Filming 18:40 — Carrie's Appliance Repair & Wildlife Work 19:30 — Scots Language Deep Dive: Bairn & Lum Reek 24:44 — Louisiana Food: Boudin, Hibachi, & Southern Buffets 27:44 — Minecraft Redstone & 90s Lego Space Nostalgia 30:37 — Carrie's New House Tour 36:54 — Hazel's 8th Birthday & Daniel Arrives 38:00 — Fast Food Debates & Snack Wrap Eras 42:30 — Gaming: Mario, Skyrim, Myst, & Dispatch 47:00 — Trade Schools, Work Ethic, & Apprenticeships 57:00 — The Rookie & Female Cops in Fiction 59:00 — Daniel's Work Struggles & Hydration Science 1:03:00 — Joshua's App Building & Game Maker Project 1:06:34 — Cyrus Jones' Secret Origin: Aliens vs. The Weather Girl 1:08:30 — New Gear: Webcam, Teleprompter, & Mic Arm 1:11:40 — Narnia as Soul Food & Wrapping Up 1:15:41 — Outro & Closing Poem

Poets At War Ep. 268: The Broodcast July 2026

Welcome to Poets at War, a podcast documenting the brood of writers, where art, theology, philosophy, and fun beckon your ears. Today on the program, we gather the troops for the monthly Broodcast! The writers assemble in the barracks to share their latest dispatches from the creative front lines.General Joshua David Ling kicks off by reading the next installment of Marty Francom's Civil War-era novel The Cane in the Field, following Virgil Cain's wrenching decision to run away to war with his younger brother Samuel — provoking a Brood-wide debate on the art of the simile and whether "darker than the inside of a cow" works in character voice. New recruit Ethan (SaurianScribe) shares two original prologues from his fantasy universe — a plane crash into a ruined skyscraper and a graveyard encounter in a wasteland — earning praise for his alliteration and worldbuilding. Ian Wilson then unleashes Chapter 8 of Heart of the Stars, where the wizard Azariah, a talking orange cat named Fred who pilots a Volkswagen van into space, and interdimensional arachnoid demons, leading to a dream-casting session (Christopher Lloyd vs. Eric Avari to play Azariah). Brendan shares the kinetic dragon-slaying climax of his fantasy novel — the heartbeat repetition, the final sword thrust — earning the title of "best action writer in the Brood." Joshua reads a raw-text chapter from Joel Stanley's sci-fi universe, exploring nanite handlers, shared dreaming, and post-battle healing. Finally, Joshua premieres two new poems from Idiot's Guide to Illegal Tech Repair ("Diners in Space" and "Idiot Dope") on his custom-built lyricanium reader, revealing that Waffle House is, in fact, space canon.Chapters: 00:00:00 — Intro & Broodcast Roll Call 00:11:19 — Joshua Reads Marty Francom: The Cane in the Field 00:28:36 — Feedback on Marty's Story 00:40:30 — Ethan (SaurianScribe) Shares: Prologue 1 — Sizable Adventures 00:49:35 — Interruption & Baby Time 00:53:28 — Ethan Shares: Prologue 2 — Destiny for Revival 00:59:28 — Feedback on Ethan's Prologues 01:11:23 — Ian Wilson Reads: Heart of the Stars Chapter 8 01:26:44 — Feedback on Ian's Story & Dream-casting Azariah 01:44:29 — Brendan Shares: Dragon-Slaying Climax 01:51:06 — Feedback on Brendan's Story 01:58:29 — Joshua Reads Joel Stanley's Sci-Fi Chapter: "Time to Rest" 02:09:43 — Feedback on Joel's Chapter 02:13:44 — Joshua's Poetry: Idiot's Guide to Illegal Tech Repair 02:21:26 — Feedback on Joshua's Poems 02:28:10 — Outro & Closing BlessingYou too can be a part of the brood of writers and Poets at War.

Poets At War Ep. 267: Swagger, Spiders, and Space Princesses

Welcome to Poets at War, a podcast documenting the brood of writers, where art, theology, philosophy, and fun beckon your ears. The Brood assembles for an evening that ranges from music theory to alien invasions. Joshua kicks off with a deep dive into the evolution of hip-hop, the death of swagger in rock, and why Outkast matters — even playing a sample to prove his point. Ian Wilson shares an extensive outline for his middle-grade sci-fi novel Heart of the Stars, featuring giant spiders, a wizard named Azariah, a time-traveling cat named Fred, and a bully who decides life on an alien planet beats his trailer back home. The gang plays "Fallout Boy Song or Anime Title?" and reveals which movie character they most closely associate with. Plus: Brendan's work woes, Joshua's chronic stress management, and a scheduling check-in for future episodes.Chapters:00:00 — Weather Check-In & Brood Chat Recap05:10 — Joshua's Daughter Turns Eight10:00 — Hip-Hop, Rock, and the Nature of Swagger17:35 — Joshua Plays a Music Sample23:00 — Rap vs. Hip-Hop: Defining the Genres27:40 — Ian Reads Heart of the Stars Outline40:30 — Feedback on Ian's Story47:00 — Fallout Boy Song or Anime Title?
