This is Kevin. As you might have guessed, our process of culling stories for the podcast is kinda random. If you’ve tried before and didn’t get on, don’t fret. You may hear from us anytime! And feel free to keep pitching stories too.

Right now, we record one-on-one radio-interview style stories from folks in New York and Los Angeles.

First, look at these topics for stories below. See if you have any memorable events from your life that fit these topics:

ALTERED: Adventures Under the Influence

REVENGE: Settling Scores Big and Small or Being on the Receiving End

JEALOUSY: The Green-Eyed Monster

MY FANTASY: Some Elaborate Story You Like (or Once Liked) to Play Out in Your Head

To pitch a story to us, send a synopsis about 100 words in length—not a lot less, not a lot more! This here paragraph you got your eyeballs on is about 100 words, just to give you an idea.

Send your pitch to kevin@risk-show.com with Story Pitch: Altered or  Story Pitch: Jealousy or whatever the subject may be in the subject line. You may not hear back right away, but we’ll read every pitch for sure.

Thanks Riskies. And remember, we’ll have a real blog soon, so we can share a lot more stuff back and forth.
