Season 2, episode 6 - Saying Goodbye
Hey everyone, this is my reading out my poem "Saying Goodbye" that I wrote back in 2020, the link to the post is here: Saying Goodbye – The Enchanted River in the Cryptid's Hollow (wordpress.com) This will also be posted on my YouTube channel: Ash Digest - Author - YouTube hope you enjoy!
Season 2, episode 5 - Snapped
Hey everyone, today's poetry reading is a poem I wrote back in 2020 called "Snapped". It was one of many poems relating to my struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma and being suicidal at the time, so trigger warning.
I was going to publish them all in a book, in fact I did temporarily self-publish the book on Amazon but then deleted it as I found I wasn't ready at all to allow these poems to all be put out in a book for a greater audience than my blog followers to see. But I'm thinking of collecting all my poetry together and trying to publish it again one day.
Here's the link to the original post: Snapped – The Enchanted River in the Cryptid's Hollow (wordpress.com) and the video recording will be on my YouTube channel: Ash Digest - Author - YouTube. If you'd like to read my blog and see what other content I write, please go check it out at: The Enchanted River in the Cryptid's Hollow – Just a wordpress blog for books! Hope you enjoy, remember to stay hydrated and take care of yourself! Have a good day/night!
Season 2, episode 4 - Have You Ever Wondered?
I apologize for the delay in getting around to another podcast episode, I've been busy with my first semester of my undergraduate Bachelor program, work and moving to a new city! Now that I've moved and somewhat settled into a routine, I've now had time to get around to my writing and podcast again, whoo! So we are on episode 4 of season 2 which is all about poetry! Today's episode, I decided to try something a little different, and experimented with voice effects, please let me know what you guys think of these voice effects, I thought they might help add to the feel of this particular poem as it's about a heavy topic, but as the creator, I'm most likely biased, so please let me know what y'all think, any feedback is welcome :)
Hope you enjoy, and this episode is also available as a blog post on my blog The Enchanted River in the Cryptid's Hollow, the link is here: Have You Ever Wondered? – The Enchanted River in the Cryptid's Hollow (wordpress.com) I used CapCut to make the voice effects, extracting the audio to layer it and move each audio extraction to start at different times, while having one extraction's volume turned up more and the others quieter to create a delayed whispering effect (or at least tried) and then added some echo effects to one or two of the audio extractions, the one that started later than others. The video version will be going up on my YouTube channel (Ash Digest - Author - YouTube) and my blog (The Enchanted River in the Cryptid's Hollow – Just a wordpress blog for books).
Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think of this experimentation with this episode and if you'd like to hear more different experimentations to future podcast episodes!
Have a great day/night!

Season 2, episode 1 - Do You Even Care? (Trigger Warning)
TRIGGER WARNING!!!
Hey everyone! Thank you for listening, welcome to the start of season 2 of my podcast, where this season we'll be looking at all things poetry (done by moi, of course XD) This first episode is looking at the first poem I ever published on my blog, titled Do You Even Care? It's about mental health and depression and suicidal feelings, so proceed with caution. It was written to try and express things that I didn't know how to express cause I didn't understand things going on with me personally during that time in my life. Also, please reach out if you're going through this, I'm here to listen, but I also know that that's a difficult thing, so if you're reading this and anything I say in the poem resonates with you: I'm so sorry. I love you, I hear and see you and know that I care about you and I'm proud that you've made it this far and I hope you make it further, you got this 3>
(If I sound weird or anything while reading this out, it was difficult to read this one out loud cause it's very personal and I was starting to feel a lot of emotions come up and I instinctively was battling to suppress them, sorry about that)

Season 1, episode 6 - Dear Diary: Coffee Broodings
This was an interesting one to record - started to record it, paused to have a drink and my bedroom lights get turned off because my little brothers wanted to go to bed lol! That was fine, I was able to record around that without waking them up because I didn't wait until morning. Maybe not the best idea, but still. Also, please excuse my trembling voice in the recording - I promise I am fine, despite what it might have sounded like, I promise I wasn't about to cry, I don't know why it sounded like that.
Anyway, today's episode is called Coffee Broodings and was meant to be the current last entry in my Dear Diaries series and the end of season 1 of this podcast, but inspiration struck in the middle of recording and I will post another entry into the Dear Diaries series a heck of a lot sooner than I anticipated XD
