You're Nearly Dead
by The Very Good Network
You're Nearly Dead is a podcast about taking creative chances and risking failure. In each episode, lifelong scribblers Charlie, Matt, and Ben bring a piece of writing, written to theme, and share them with each other and the listeners. It's kind of a competition, but it's really not.

YND 15: What Are You Doing
This week’s theme is Poetic Audio Description, which is interpreted to varying levels of literality by our hosts. Do the pieces reveal the inner workings and dark opinions of their writers?

YND 13: Got Clogged
The theme this week is Country! Given that two of our hosts play and write in a Country Rock band, they should knock it out the park. Or the country park, if you will. This week’s pieces: CHARLIE Cloggo It was 1889 They built this dirty maze of mine I keep things moving right below your feet…

YND 9: I Knew Them
We’ve heard that it’s hard to rock a rhyme that’s right on time. In fact, it’s tricky. So how will our hosts do as they face their first week of compulsory rhyme? There’s only two ways to find out, either you listen to this show or you ask a friend to do it for you. The former seems easier. This...

YND 7: Wildlife
In an episode that’s inspired by the word ‘Wildlife’ but very largely about other things, our hosts present three very rapidly written pieces. Ben’s is largely to annoy Charlie. Charlie’s is about a dog, but not about a dog. Matt’s sounds like Samuel Beckett, who he’s never heard of. To read the...

YND 6: To The Occupier
This week our hosts address a variety of occupiers, from the metaphorical to the metaphorical. Plus our first listener submission, some righteous smack talk about Will Smith, and Charlie is a superb dick about Matt’s piece. Apologies for the sound quality, Matt & Charlie are in Norway, but we...
