Come listen to the second installment of Waste Radio’s Game of Prose, a writing podcast where two contenders compete and write their best short story. This episode’s prompt: an affair. Fellow Wasteoids Cooper Malin and Phillip Griffin read their stories about adulterous liaisons with Game of Prose creator Alina Cross and previous contestant Jordan Finn judging their two tales of infidelity. Hear the sordid details and find out who’ll take home the prize on the newest episode of Game of Prose where cheating is encouraged!
The Contestants
A soft poet, a dedicated cartoonist, a rascal who peaked in community college and is only in it for appearances. Coop was born in Montana, lived here and there for a bit, and currently resides in Dixon, MT. When he isn't reading, writing, or drawing, he's stealing beer from supermarkets and daydreaming.
Philthy is a writer, musician, and dirtbag based out of Bozeman, MT. He likes writing about capitalism and other funny business, and plays in a band called Bull Market with a drummer known as Nails Jensen.
The Judges
Alina lives in Pittsburgh, PA, but she’s from a small town in West Virginia that she hates so much it fuels most of her artistic work. Alina is a graduate of makeup art school, so she now slaves away for corporate makeup companies by day. By night she’s a painter, short story writer, podcaster, photographer, and mixed media artist - just keeping the existential dread at bay.
Jordan lives and works between Billings MT and Brooklyn, having just competed his M.A. in English, and is avoiding a real job. He spends his time writing short fiction and essays, playing drums for a number of bands, and reading the works of Philip Roth. He also has a love-hate relationship with video games and television that he’s working out.
