ARBM Episode 101

from As Read By Me · host As Read By Me

Episode 101: We are very excited to bring you the debut episode of As Read By Me. First, we explore direct democracy in action with an amusing tale of local government in a small Massachusetts beach town, entitled “Go To Hull” by Peter Waitze. Then, Paul Camarata shares his poem “A Song for the Hammerhead” which whimsically springboards off the old adage “when you’re a hammer, all you see is nails.” And finally, a plea for non-partisanship from Don Tollefson, in an essay entitled “Always Avoiding Cooperation.” Authors Peter Waitze: Peter has been recounting his short tall tales in monthly letters for over 40 years, and more recently a monthly email story. You can sign up for his monthly letter by sending an email to [email protected]. Peter is also a founder and producer of the As Read By Me Podcast. Paul Camarata: Paul’s words and pictures can be found at www.tweedtypewriter.com. And if you’d like to see some animated versions of Paul’s poems, check out his YouTube channel here. Don Tollefson: Don is a retired ABC and Fox TV broadcaster, who has been clean and sober for 3026 days. Don now operates a recovery street ministry called Overcome Thyself, on the streets of Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood. You can find out more about all of our authors at www.AsReadByMe.com.

This collection of writing has a subtle politics theme delivered in a very refreshing and non-divisive way way. First we explore direct democracy in action with an amusing tale of local government in a small Massachusetts beach town, entitled “Go To Hull” by Peter Waitze. Then Paul Camarata shares his poem “A Song for the Hammerhead” which whimsically springboards off the old adage “when you’re a hammer, all you see is nails.” And finally a plea for non-partisanship from Don Tollefson, in an essay entitled “Always Avoiding Cooperation.”
