Peter Marlton, writer, musician, public defender, and former New York City cab driver, introduces this new podcast by making the brazen statement that the words "pure" and "impure" are fluid and open to just about any interpretation. The idea is to have fun, entertaining conversations about stories, meaning literature, film, theater, etc., but equally important, dreams, and stories we hear and tell throughout our days. This should illuminate questions about the nature of stories, why we need them and whether and how they might change us. The great French writer Colette is the "Purely Impure Writer of the Day." A fake Garrison Keillor will appear with a Writer's Almanac about her (with facts!), followed by a quick anecdotal story from Pete's cab driving days. Episodes of Stories Pure and Impure will drop every other Wednesday. Check here for updates.
I welcome your comments, observations, and suggestions!

You've got nothing lose and probably nothing to gain, but what the hell?
