The Writers

Details

FlipCollective is an experiment in collaboration.

Each week, every FlipCollective writer's column or post or article or - if you want to be particularly writerly - "piece," is edited by a fellow FlipCollective writer. As they learn from one another, the writers improve. Along the way, you, the reader, are provided with an Internet oddity: content that has actually been edited.

We post new articles every day of the work week. We hope you like what you read and that you'll check back often.
FlipCast

The closest thing we have to a companion podcast, FlipCast is hosted by Paul Shirley and either Mick Shaffer or Riley Breckenridge, depending on where in the world Paul is. Join them every two weeks for a new hour-long episode of music, topical discussion, and many, many arguments.

You can stream individual FlipCast episodes here, or you can download, listen, and subscribe using iTunes:
