Kill My Podcast

"What is a darling?" I hear you ask. Or more accurately, "is this guy looking for help killing someone?" No, I'm not! My name is Hayden Rodgers by the way. But, really, a darling isn't a person - well, sometimes it is, but they're not real. It's a part of my fantasy adventure novel that I need to kill! But not kill as in stab gruesomely. Look, I explain it a lot better in this introduction episode so you better just listen to it.

For the interactive part, visit haydenrodgers.net/killmydarlings. Find the blog for the episode you just listened to. Read the summary if you forgot what you just listened to. Help me clarify my ideas with your feedback in the comments section. I’ll try and respond to everything - it’ll be great for procrastinating the actual writing. Join a cute community of like-minded fantasy adventure-loving nerds by following all the accounts and things.
