As you might know, Yolander and I teamed up last year to launch Freelance Theater — a site featuring audio plays (and other entertainment to come) for freelance writers. The idea was to do something different, taking a new and lighter approach to looking as issues facing freelancers.

Today we released our second audio play episode from the MadLance series: Late Shift. You can listen to it at Freelance Theater, in our playlist in the sidebar here at All Freelance Writing, or below in this post. This episode featured our first guest star, fellow AFW contributor Clint Osterholz.

We’d also like to announce some basic news for Freelance Theater moving forward. These MadLance episodes take much longer to write, edit, record, and produce than we originally anticipated. So rather than try to release episodes monthly, they will come out quarterly. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll have to wait months between Freelance Theater releases. We’ll be launching several smaller entertainment series where we can tackle projects independently in addition to the larger series. I’ll share more about that as soon as titles, schedules, etc. are finalized. I’m expecting them to be just as much fun to create though, and I hope you’ll enjoy them.

For now, enjoy “Late Shift” — a story about the lonely side of freelance writing.

Again, you captured my schtick. I was browsing through the AFW archives last night and saw “The Late Shift” on Podbean and listened to it immediately. Great stuff. Thanks, Clint, for guest starring.

Yes, a huge thanks to Clint for being our first guest star. That was incredibly brave of him. And for as long as it took us to get this one together, Clint was a speedy little thing — a total pro. He just got the script, got into his part, and had his recording done in record time (put us to shame really lol).

Thanks for doing these. Very creative project and unique way of getting your idea or messages out there.

Also a bit inspiring to the rest of us (Have I done any outside projects that I plan to do? Nooooooooo).

lol I’m always full of ideas for “outside” projects. Oddly this one stem from Yo and I talking about something as simple as doing a joint blog feature, and somehow turned into its own little beast. If you have plans to start a new project, just take baby steps if you feel like they never get started. Sometimes just a few minutes on it suddenly turns into hours and real dedication — you just have to get into your groove.
