131: Batrachomyomachia – Reflecting on Writing Goals & Poetic Experiments | Radio FreeWrite Season 4 Finale

In the Season 4 finale, the Radio FreeWrite crew looks back on their writing goals—ranging from dialogue practice to poetic experimentation—and what they’ve learned along the way. Krispy shares how a season of poetry shaped his approach to language, while PC, Spud, and WebEater reflect on growth, discipline, and finding focus as writers.

Then, inspired by the prompt Batrachomyomachia (“the battle of frogs and mice”), they read original first-draft stories: an epic blank-verse poem on anxiety, a dark fantasy battle between spectromancers, and a tender late-night encounter with a mysterious elk.

Perfect for fans of flash fiction, writing craft discussions, and storytelling challenges with a literary twist! Stories start around the 17:45 mark.
