Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Like Buying a new car.......2002-05-17

Listening to Writers Block Party is like buying a new car. You have to open each nook and cranny to see whats there. Each track is different and I found myself wondering what would come next. Issue 1 is terrific - I can't wait for Issue 2.

5 out of 5 stars Audio Food For The Ear The Brain (and a big Time Saver Too)!.......2002-05-17

My Writer's Block Party CD is a highly portable digital smorgasbord for the ears and the mind with just the right mix of of new music,spoken word and comedy.

The producers have collected and put in one convenient place what I could have never discovered on my own even after spending hours listening to several different kinds of radio station formats and reading piles of newspapers, periodicals and literary magazines...and then ignoring all the stuff I wasn't interested in.

I have listened to it at home, in my car, on a plane, at the gym and at work. It's a wonderful audio magazine full of surprises and delights and I can't wait for future releases!

4 out of 5 stars Eclectic Entertainment.......2002-04-26

Tired of the same old, same old? Looking for something new in the way of electronic entertainment? Well, look no further than "Writers' Block Party." It's an eclectic mix of humor, song and spoken word. From the haunting lyrics of Jonny Polonsky to the wit of Billy Collins and Patricia Marx, you'll want to "read" this audio magazine again and again.
