All right, hey, everybody, how are you. I have a friend
of mine on with me. We're not going to spend two hours on here
or anything, but I want to introduce her to you now, Ginger,
if you just hold on, let me set this up. This is Ginger
Winners. She's a friend of mine. I met her probably six or eight
months ago, and we were talking. She was working for a publisher and
I had, through another author that I knew, had told him about us
uploading audio books and it was really working out great, and he took that
to this publisher. They brought Ginger in as kind of start this thing up
for them, just to get it started, and she was in the meeting
and I was so taken by her interest and enthusiasm about it. That's what
I love about this, and so immediately connected with her. I could tell
just by the look on her face that she was interested in it. And
then her and I worked together on their podcast. I actually recorded a book
and it's on the it's on the podcast, and she got really interested in
this stuff. And so she's not with the publisher anymore. She's got her
own podcast and it's called The Hidden Corners, right right, And I actually
got to collaborate with her on her six or seventh podcast that she's put up.
It's on YouTube and it's going to be on all the podcast apps soon,
and so I want you all to know her. I want you to
know about her channel. I want you to go listen to it. I
did a different thing for her than I normally do with my channel, and
I felt like I could do that kind of use her as a guinea pig.
If it was horrible, then she could just she could take the hit
on it. But Ginger, I'm sorry to be so long, Wendy,
but thanks and welcome. And I know every we have the nicest audience on
the whole internet, and I know they're gonna be happy to meet you.
So how are you well, Gosh, thank you, thank you for first
of all for having me on the podcast, but thank you so much for
all your health and assistance over the last several months. I feel like,
you know, meeting you was just a godsend for sure, and so starting
this podcast was a big adventure and you were there right along with me,
So thank you for that. So yeah, the new podcast is called The
Hidden Corners, and the idea I had for it is that I was always
a Twilight Zone junkie, so Twilight Zone and Outer Limits and all of those
shows, so I wanted to come up with something that was similar to that.
So the idea with the Hidden Corners is it's a mix of a bunch
of different stories. There might be everything from a rewrite of a fairy tale
to classics like ed garllan Poe, to fun stories like Bigfoot, like the
one that you collaborated with me on, and scary stories ghost stories. We
have a feature called Around the camp Fire where Clay talks about campfire stories and
things that have happened out in the wild. So a mix of everything.
Yeah, he does a really good job. Matter of fact, he told
the story in your very first video that you put up last week and April
and I were driving actually I had listened to it, and then April and
I were driving to another town to go eat lunch and she wanted to go
shopping, so we listened to all your podcast you had about six maybe four,
I think you had four up at that time. We listened to all
four of him on the way and she's like, I love this podcast because
it's there's a lot of variety and there is you hear a lot of voices
like I got to do one. I'm going to do more if you'll let
me. And who is what is the man's name that did the first one
that does the campfire? Okay, remind me of his name. His name
is Clay Stella. Clay's voice, your voice. It's just a great variety,
a great writing, and uh it's the variety is great. So so
I did a bigfoot thing and Clay's probably going to do something different. I
noticed you've got three or four more podcasts up since we listened. But if
you don't mind, I want you to tell the folks how you came up
with these stories. That was interesting to me because didn't you tell me your
brothers and sisters used to pass the time telling just making up these stories and
telling stories. Will you will you share that with us? Yeah? Gosh,
so, like I said, we were we were all Twilight Zone junkies
when we were young, and and my brother, who was five years older
than me and was my best friend, we would pass the time creating stories
for each other and it was just such a it was it was such a
wonderful part of my childhood. We were always coming up with stories. And
the thing is if the more you come up stories, the more you notice
bizarre things going on in the world around you. And so we always had
lots of content to draw from. Um My brother has since passed, unfortunately
I lost him at a early age, but I feel like he is always
with me, always telling me stories, and so I know that he's a
big part of this podcast too. So you're drawing from memory and you're writing
some of these stories that you that you two told each other. That's that's
where a lot of this comes from. Ryan, that is where a lot
of it originates. And then some of it is Newert. Well, so
I've right now, I've written all of the stories that I've been reading,
and that well the ones I've been reading. Anyway, m Clay kind of
comes up with his own own idea of campfire stories, but he helps me
collaborate also, just like you have and I. What we're asking is that
our listeners also send in their stories. So we have an email address.
It is the Hidden Corners dot Story at gmail dot com, and we're hoping
that listeners will send their stories into and if it, you know, if
it sounds like something that Clay should read around the Campfire. Then we'll have
Clay read it and if it's if it sounds like a story that would work
really well with the Hidden Corners, then I'll read it. And then we
also have Justin King on board. And Justin is reading a lot of the
classics, so he's doing you know, Edgar Allan Poe and right now he's
actually reading the original story of Frankenstein and I'm going to have to do Dracula
as well. But some of those good old classics that people will either remember
remember reading as in their childhood or maybe they've never read it, they've only
seen the movie. And we all know that books can be so much better
than movies. So we've got a variety of those things. Yeah, that's
a And look that you're talking to an audience who loves to write and send
in these stories, and because I've got hundreds of them, So please you
all if you have a story that you have always kind of wanted to send
to me, but she thought, well maybe it won't fit his channel.
It will fit Ginger's channel because she likes unusual. It doesn't really matter what
the topic is, because she's really left herself open to do just a variety
of topics, so it could be you know, I did a Bigfoot because
that story was in the back of my mind because it happened to a friend.
So anyone's who's where, I'm gonna link it in the description. We're
gonna put her email address in the description and a link to her channel.
I might even put an icard up here. So if you just want to
break away and go listen, Oh, I had something wrong on the tip
of my tongue in my mind. It goes so fast then it leaves,
and I can't remember what I was going to say, but just go over
and give it a try. The I was going, Oh, I was
gonna say. The story that really hooked me was your very first podcast,
The Client. He told that story so well, and then you told the
red story. And there's three more up that I haven't even listened to.
I'm about to get back to work when we finished this, and I'm gonna
listen to those this afternoon. So I'm so excited to have a podcast that
I can look forward to. You know, they are very very few that
I get excited when they pop up, and I think I'm kind of hooked
on yours. So it's again it's written. Well, um, please guys,
if you have a story. Oh, I know what I was going
to say. That was one time where I put out a invitation to young
people who Now I always say you should check with your parents. If you're
underage, check with your parents and make sure it's okay. I don't like
to do anything with kids without parental but check with your parents. And if
you've got a good story, sending it to me or send it to Ginger.
But that was always fun to do. The young people's story teenager stories
is what they were. And so anyway, what else is going on?
This really is basically what you're focusing on now, Well, this is a
huge focus of mine for sure, right now it is. I'm also,
as you know, I also paint. I fact, these pictures in the
background are some of my paintings, and so I spend a lot of time
doing all kinds of creative endeavors and getting ready to move soon. I'm moving
out to a ranch, horse ranch outside of town, and so that's that's
going to be exciting too. And once I'm out there, I'm sure there's
going to be a whole lot of oh gosh, all kinds of great horse
stories and desert stories and things that will come out of that excursion as well.
Yeah, one of the things I wanted to mention when you said you
really loved the client. You know, sometimes some of these stories required more
than just my voice, you know, being a female, some of the
stories lend themselves well to a female voice, but you know, a lot
of them, it's better to have them read by a man. And I'm
just so grateful that I've got you to help me with that, and Clay
to help me with that, and Justin and it was really fun with a
client to have both of our voices together. And I'd love to do that
with you sometime. I think that would be really fun to do. Yeah,
I've done that with a neomaphen a couple of times and we have a
ball doing it. So you you, you write the scripts and me highlight
what you want me to do and I'll do it and we'll we'll do it
that way. I'd love to do that. So before we go, I
wanna help you. Weren't you commissioned to do a to do a piece for
was it the state of Nevada or Arizona? Can you talk about that.
Well, I live in Nevada right now. I actually live real close to
Lake Tahoe UM and I had a painting hanging in the Legislatian building and that
was, Yeah, that was a lot of fun to be able to hang
up there. They've actually asked me to return next year with many more paintings,
so that's going to be really fun. I'd like to maybe go with
more of a Nevada theme at that point. Now that's a heron. Do
you do you all have those birds in Nevada? We do. We have
blue herons here and we have white egrets as well. However, this this
one on this let's say this way, this side of me is more of
an ocean. Uh yeah, word, but we have we have those.
We have sandhill cranes. We've got a bunch of different big birds here.
Yeah, we have a for about from the spring on I was. I
saw her painting, and so we have some of those birds back here behind
us on the ponds. And I would send her pictures and videos. I'm
like, hey, we've got them. Do but I actually, just between
you and I actually got up close to three of them. I don't know
how they didn't spook they're the most wary bird probably in the world, next
to a crow, but you can't get anywhere near. A matter of fact,
duck hunters will put a herron decoy in the middle of their spread because
it's a huge confidence builder for ducks because ducks know if a heron's there,
it's safe, because if a hearing detects any kind of danger, they're gone.
And so it's a really interesting bird. But anyway, I wanted to
have you on and introduce everybody and let them see how nice you are.
And guys, this is somebody who loves the podcasting the audio projects that we
that I do, and now she's doing and there's a bunch of us doing
it, and she absolutely Ginger loves what she's doing. And I can every
time I talk to her, I can always just kind of sense that.
So you, guys, get over there. There'll be links and eye cards
and everything for the hidden corners. Go over there and subscribe. Get her
up to a thousand, like by the end of the week. Let's do
it. Let's show her how much we love these stories and what a great
audience you are. I would really appreciate that. So, Ginger, if
you don't have anything else, So I'm gonna go ahead and sign off.
Well, thank you so much Cameron first having me on here, and I
look forward to lots of collaboration with you. Yeah, that sounds good to
me. Okay, guys, thanks for hanging with us. This a short
little video. I just wanted to introduce you to my friend and I hope
you guys will follow her channel and get to know her because she's gonna I
think she's going to have a good she's got a good thing going. So
thanks for joining us and we'll see you on the next one.
