OBF, Inc. by Bernice McFadden

Intro

Hello and welcome to WORDTheatre Weekly: The Short Story Podcast where great authors and great actors meet! I’m your host, Cedering Fox, WORDTheatre's Founder & Artistic Director.

Please note that WORDTheatre holds the copyright to these recordings and no portion of anything you hear on the short story podcast may be reproduced without permission.
We were running our writers workshop in Provence, in Southern France and weren't able to put out two episodes of the weekly podcast, so today we are sharing a bonus episode in advance of the 2024 US Presidential Election. Bernice McFadden's "OBF, Inc" was masterfully performed live in Manhattan by Ronald Peet in September with Bernice in attendance. If you haven't seen Ronald as Neville in Bad Monkey, please tune in. And today we have the author saying a few words. Bernice Mc Fadden is a critically acclaimed novelist & professor at Tulane University. I can tell you that all twelve participants felt very lucky to have had bernice leading WORDTheatre's week long Writers' Workshop!
And now, here is Bernice McFadden!
