{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Off-Period Podcast","slug":"Off-periodpodcast","podcastDescription":"

Join Mel, Sean, and Dave, three high school English teachers who spend their off-period discussing all things literary—from the writing process to classic literature, to guilty pleasure reading and even trash. In this podcast they take on any and all of these topics, and share stories about their own original works as well as their different styles and writing journeys. So grab a chair, pull out your lunchbox, and tune in until the bell tells us we’re out of time.
