Pau, August and Jakob came on to read poems and we had a group chat that lasted around three and a half hours. The first hour is most of the reading, actually.
August Reads at 8:00, Paul ends at 32.33, and Jakob ends at 49:25
Skip ahead to 49.25 to move to the discussion and right to the talking.
Thanks for everyone for listening. This is a pod I wish existed when I was back working on a night crew for like six years. Where I could turn my brain off, listen in and out of without checking my damn iphone every few minutes - back when I had one while working the frozen section. While my hands were freezing and I was like wet. I really loved conducting this podcast. I wish every podcast were like this episode. But I realize no one would probably listen, This is a great episode. I mean all of them are.

Graham and Sebastian came along to read at a reading I held. After each person read we hung out had a tremendous time. Gregory Taffer, Rachelle Toarmino, Aidan Ryan and Tom Snarsky were apart of the audience. You may hear them pop up. Just a roundtable of random voices coming together. This is one of my favorite episodes.

Rachelle Toarmino and Aidan Ryan take over this show this week. Rachelle founded the Peachmgzn and Aidan invented the Foundlings Press . They asked to interview me. So here we are. I was reluctant to do this. I;m not super articulate. However the more I do these sorts of things I believe the better I'll be when asked to participate in them.

New episode! Gion Davis is a poet from New Mexico. I’ve been up too long. As I was putting this up I heard things I could edit out - HAD to be edited out so I had go through that process and I think it is superior, though.. No episode is ever perfect. Never perfect enough. I can not process thoughts into a coherent logical statement. Gion is a poet. That’s all I can muster.
Okay. Clementine Is Right. Mass. University. Too Much was published in 2022.
They’re from New Mexico – check out their new work in Ghost City Press, and PeachMgzn and other sites.

I chatted with a very game Paul Hanson Clark about a lot of things. We spoke about stuff. He was great. I hope to have him return. I only went 90 mins because I feel like two hours woulda wasted a potential return. Like because one hour is never enough time but two hours can feel like too much. 90 is perfect. I think. Paul is a returning guest from an earlier episode. He's from Nebraska! He knows Austin Islam and Ctch. That's why he recorded an episode with Austin, earlier in the year.

Sean came on the show . He wrote Fuccboi

Paul Hanson Clark and Austin Islam came onto to chat with me about their lives and experiences writing poetry and living out their lives together. It was a holiday episode.

Today I spoke with the poet and founder of METATRON - Ashley Obscura.
Metatron is an experimental online space for poetry and art. and is an independent press as well. I was very interested in the new section of the site - GLYPHORIA which is an experimental take on literary magazines but feels different to me. I love the website and many of the new pieces. Anyways, we spoke about how she started out in Canada and her beginnings in publishing,. We ended up discussing video games, virtual reality, ethics, and the business of running an indie press.
These are the books Ashely has written - "SEXO POR ÚLTIMA (Socios Fundadores, 2022), AMBIENT TECHNOLOGY (Metatron, 2018) and I AM HERE (Metatron, 2014) .
