S2 E23 Candace Curran and Nina Rossi Jul 18, 2021

Show notes

We have a great chat with writers, artists and musicians Candace Curran and Nina Rossi. They regale us with some live spoken word performances as well. Also featuring music from She Said!

This was another internet conversation, so there are some glitches, so you know. The first 10 minutes or so of our audio was somehow also strangely corrupted, so during that time, both sides of the conversation were VOIP audio only. Technology!

S2 E22 Joshua Michael Stewart Jul 04, 2021

Show notes

We have a great chat with writer and musician Joshua Michael Stewart. He reads several of his poems, discusses some of the methods he's used, and a lot more.
Also, we feature four pieces of his music! In Joshua's words:
""Jig for Jim" is an original composition from my first album, "Ghost in the Room." "Brother..." & "Nobody's Business" are old traditional songs (public domain) that will be on my upcoming album "Bitches Banjo" released July 20, 2021 and "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is also a traditional song on the upcoming album, but this version is an alternate take that won't be on the album."
