Pumpernickel Pod

In this episode, Dr. Dayana Stetco discusses her work in the theater and her collection of plays, The Loneliness Pill, as well as giving a surprisingly inspiring talk at the end, rather than engaging in Couri's desire to trash talk bureaucracy. 

Matthew Mahaney, author of Plural Spaces, Your Attraction to Sharp Machines, The Storm that Bears your Name, and Word Problems, discusses the thematic elements of his work, and the influences that formed them. Also how pianos be creepy af sometimes.

We sit down with Katherine Gaffney, author of the poetry chapbook Once Read as Ruin from Finishing Line Press and talk about wildness versus domestication, the fantasy of romantic intimacy versus the reality of the work that comes with love, horse girls and myth, and Longhorn Steakhouse! 

This week we sit down with Julie Hoverson, writer, audio editor and sometimes voice actor over at 19 Nocturne Boulevard to talk about challenging oneself with different genres, building and maintaining a fanbase as a young creator, and working on an audio drama. 

Couri Johnson sits down with terrific writer and personal friend Kym Cunningham to talk about what reality actually is, systematic oppression, academia, genre and of course, Kym's forthcoming poetry collection New Mythologies from Dream Pop Press, and her book of essays Difficulty Swallowing from Atmosphere Press.
