250

Did Thad (Hope) forget to post this episode last week? Maybe. Are you as confused as Thad (Hope) is? Don't even worry about it. We got you. Songwriting is fluid like time and the prompts are fluid like portraits before the paint dries type thing. We love you.  Ok so sorry. I forgot a week. But fear not. We're here for you. 

Emily went to Switzerland on vacation recently so we decided to choose it as a prompt. 

This episode is packed with value. Why? Well, you get the prompt, you get two play arounds like us writing songs to the prompt...AND you get a brand new turn of phrase to incorporate into your daily life and what's not to love about that?  Hot Dog City. 

It's a brick and mortar book shop that is surprisingly busy for 2026 and the in-store Starbucks probably won't take your gift card. So we wrote about it. 

Our prompt for this week is a songwriter you may never have heard of. His name is Rich Mullins. He was a songwriter who died back in the 90s but before then, wrote Christian Contemporary Music and then went out on his own to write the real kinds of songs that felt more like him and we dive into his work, talk about his unique writer's voice and send a couple up in thanksgiving for what he did. 

You know you want a third installment of the hit movie/musical, "Grease," so you're welcome, we started working on it ourselves.  TUne in to find out which directions we both took in tackling the franchise in our very own ways. And then you get to working on all the different numbers that still need written. WE can make Grease 3 a reality. Together. 

It's just a number. 250. Don't worry about it. Our prompt is 250 as in, "tell 250 friends you listen to this podcast."  Next up? Grease 3. So silly. Thank you for listening. Love, Hope and Emily

Neither of us wrote about the stork so rest assured we went different ways on this one. Welcome back to Prompt Queens! We are so glad you stopped by and gave a listen. We encourage you to follow your own creativity and keep that writing up. Rest assured it's not always easy or perfect but getting in the reps is a big part of being a writer. High five. And remember, Grease 3 is coming so mark your calendars. 

Tale as old as time, am I right? My boyfriend left me for the circus. Tune in for this episode's romp beneath the Big Top and find out what happens when two scrappy songwriter take on the challenge of love vs. circus. 

Hello Prompt people! Yes, we WILL bring you a higher love and we will bring it to you today with our prompt, Steve Winwood. We are always glad to be back on the pod talking songs and life and what not. THis one features special surprise co-write guest, Hope's son, Sam Dunbar.
