Great week for me! Talking about being up front with my new editor on how I *can't* write an outline, a bit about knife-throwing and learning to relish failure as much as success, and the monsoon rains of autumn.

Unthawed from the ice, the Word Docs have returned to the airwaves to explain where the hell they've been, what the hell they've been doing, and who the hell they might be creating next. As lockdowns ease and the world reawakens, tune in to hear the gang discuss the perils of balancing professional commitments as writers, teachers and researchers. Just when you thought it was safe to open your ears, Sean is back to conjure honourable ghosts, Alex is back to bleed teens dry...and both Amy T. Mathews and Amy Barry are back with secrets to tease.

Estaran con nosotros María Bluesy y Toni Bustamante B de Manifiesto, con los que repasaremos el camino que les ha llevado hasta la banda en 2016, los comienzos, el presente, y lo que les queda por delante, con la ayuda de Sergio de Westhia a las preguntas
Lo más próximo de Manifiesto es el primer Morgana Fest, en el que estarán westhia, CRUDO, DonNadie, SKULD y los propios Manifiesto el próximo Sábado en La Corredoria...
Y hablando del Morgana Fest, aprovechamos para atracar a Fredy Torres y que nos cuente la historia de un programa nacido en 1989, que fué uno de los damnificados de Radio Vetusta (D.E.P.), y renacía en Septiembre del 2016 con las mismas ganas de entonces, o más...
Y no venimos solos, nos acompañan Lorena y Jose Carlos de Skuld, Manuel Garcia Luiña de Tecnicos sin fronteras S.A, Luis Melero de Crudo y su queridisimo Andres, Ruth Suarez de @Darna y Kirlo y Maria de Manifiesto.
