Sample script
Podcasting sample script:
[Music intro]
It's Monday, July 25, and you're listening to a Flak Magazine podcast. Today's story is called "Oedipal Complex"; it's written by Joseph C. Krupnick, and read for you by Wayne Lewis.
If all the world's a stage, then the Valerie Plame-Karl Rove Affair is a Greek tragedy. Of course, Aristotle never imagined his schema ...
... In three years' time, maybe Americans can finally put Rove and his GOP machine on a one-way flight back to Texas Ñ which is close enough to Colonus.
You can read this and other articles at www.F-L-A-K-M-A-G.com, and you can email Joseph C. Krupnick at joe K-R-U-P-N-I-C-K at gmail dot com. This has been Wayne Lewis, reading on behalf of Flak Magazine. Thanks for listening.
