All The Latest on Projects Past, Present, and Future.
I had a nice chat with Glen Binger, the driving force behind Bing Bang Co., for his flagship podcast, Betterism. We talked a bit about being a drunk poet, living by an uncompromised artistic code, what success looks like, and geographic isolation as a kind of opportunity. His show is premised on the notion that “by teaching, we learn” and, darn it, that makes for some pretty inspirational chats! So if you have an hour or so, and you are interested, pop on over and have yourself a listen!
Martin Appleby, sporting a dapper, green mohawk, has taken a cache of poems from our A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO for his POETRY & PUNK PODCAST. There’s Michael D. Blum talking about white wine and Fascism, and Walevska Perez-Herrera and Pink Floyd, and there’s Rebecca Schumejda talking about waking in a red car. Freddie De La Cruz teaches us about “drunk Christmas,” and we find Joseph Ridgwell narrating for some poor sap at the gas station in his underwear. William Boyle speaks to getting screwed in Hollywood, and Willy Vlautin talks of the naked guy in his buddy’s pool.
For those who don’t now, Martin is the driving force behind Paper and Ink Zine, and is a tireless supporter of small press goodness, all while still being a terrific writer in his own right. So if you’re looking for a taste of what the audio book will sound like, check out the podcast (and all the other stuff Martin gets up to)!
