The Ocean People Inspire Podcast
by TBTI Global
‘Ocean People Inspire’ is a podcast that captures a journey that led to, and included, the 2024 Ocean People Inspire e-book. The e-book is a collection of short stories by emerging and amateur writers from Newfoundland and Labrador who explore, through multiple short story genres, what connects people to the ocean and coasts. The collection shows what it means to be inextricably linked to the ups and downs of coastal and ocean life, and what the draw of this life can do to understanding of our surroundings and ultimately, ourselves.The e-book was the culmination of the NL Writes Short Story Competition, inviting participants across the province to write on the theme, “The Ocean is a Magnet.” The competition emphasized inclusive participation, reflection, and dialogue, while featuring mentorship, feedback, and celebration. The submissions, written by authors aged 15 to 75, were deeply personal and thought-provoking. The authors told us that this was an opportunity to start or rekindle
