Episode 69: Party Line

In an attempt to forge new frontiers of podcastdom We’re All Gonna Die tries our hand at podcasting over the phone, and I’m sorry about the constant hum.  I ran noise reduction and the compression software multiple times, and well…it’s at least an amusing conversation between myself, Stephanie Brea, Jason Baldinger, and all the way from a U-Haul parking lot in Kansas City James Benger.

During our talk we discuss the holiday season, why labor and poetry go together, James and Jason’s great new book Little Fires Hiding, the 5th Annual Bah Humbug:Writers Wrestle with the Holiday Spirit reading, and James has to get out of his car and explain why he’s talking on the phone in a U-Haul parking lot

At this point, I try to earn the explicit tag on every single podcast.

Episode 60: The Lovelorn Lines

For this episode, friend of the podcast Stephanie Brea stops by to read some of her poems, the Valentines Day poems of Ted Kooser, and I bungle the bottom 5 by asking a question I asked her on our last episode from December.  Most importantly however, in a new frontier for the podcast Stephanie adds answers real life questions about love, because she is the Jim Leyland of love!

Stephanie will have a great book out someday, it will be called Broken Bottles, Broken Hearts, and as always I swear
