For Sale

Posted on by wotif

For Sale: Buying a house is a big decision involving a great deal of money and incurring many life changes. So real estate agents should be patient when guiding prospective buyers through the process of choosing the right house for their needs. And they in turn are simply looking for the perfect house. However, this is one of those occasions when you just may find your sympathies with the real estate agent.

While we hope you enjoy it I would like to share a secret (which I hope is not too evident).  The skit was recorded nearly twenty-five years ago and needed to be remastered to bring it up to date with modern currencies.  If you listen closely you may be able to find where the changes were made.

However, even today, I can testify that those real estate agents who have listened to the podcast agree, the scenario is as pertinent to the market today as it was a quarter of a century ago.

NOTE: March, 2019: Although this little skit was recorded a quarter of a century ago, I reckon it could pass for today – not exactly mind – yes, the cost of houses has gone up considerably, but house-hunting couples – well, they’re still the same – or are they?

THE FAST FICTION LAUNCH

Posted on by wotif

To commence our library off to a good start the selection of pods is varied in length, genres and delivery. They can be found on iTunes – Performing Arts, Podcasts – Fast Fiction. Or it may be easier to click on the link below.

With April being the month we think of ANZAC you may give a special thought to Wheeled Prison, a tribute to all military personnel the world over and at the same time provides a little insight into those sharing a similar disability.

Even after 50 years of marriage there can be a few surprises.

That’s all folks – until the April release.

It is almost a year since our first release on April 1 of A bad luck day. Back then I had little idea of how podcasts or social media works.  I’m a little more experienced about the podcasting, but clueless on social media.  So I hope this gets to you the listeners – somehow!

A Bad Luck Day:

CrimeWithoutGrime

Just a few hours ago I posted my very first pod onto Whooshkaa and iTunes. The first of many I hope.  It’s called A bad luck day.  As it is a crime story with a twist I won’t say too much about it right now, other than to say that while it is fiction it is based on a good deal of fact.   However, if you want to know the back story, let me know via the contact form. It’s quite funny and gives a little idea of how a ‘wotif’ scenario can present itself.

I will just add that the ‘inspiration’ for this story was once a Spitfire pilot in World War 2, and is still married to his wife of 78 years. And that’s an achievement.

He was piloting his Cessna when nearly 80 – doing aerial photography – with the door taken out in order to get a better view.
