Litopia After Dark 1 - 25
by Litopia Writers' Colony
The Litopia podcasts, from Litopia Writers’ Colony, are the 'net's original and foremost podcasts for writers. There are currently two strands: LITOPIA DAILY and LITOPIA AFTER DARK. LITOPIA DAILY is a quick-but-essential daily briefing for writers: between 5 to 10 minutes of the hottest news and comment, plus regular features that are as stimulating as your morning cup of Java. LITOPIA AFTER DARK is a weekly international panel discussion hosted by literary agent Peter Cox. Recorded every Friday in front of a live audience on UStream (see the website for details: http://podcast.litopia.com). Guests are drawn very widely: from the titans of the publishing business to neophyte novelists - everyone gets a crack if they have something significant to say and a witty way of saying it. We look forward to your company!
