The Last Word 2022

I used to do a radio show on WLFR Lake Fred Radio, Stockton's independent radio station. A great great radio station, by the way, to listen to at any time to see what the jockeys are up to. I've brought back for this year The Last Word, a show about writers and writing, and I've found a way to make it post on Spotify. So tune in every other Thursday (June 30th is the next time it will air) on WLFR at 11AM until noon. At the end of the radio broadcast aka noon, the podcast version of the show (unbleeped) will drop on Spotify here.

So far, our guests have been: Angel Dominguez on their new book Desgraciado, hilarious and fierce! Sommer Browning read from Good Actors on comedy, writing, and the pros of DIY museum spaces; Joel Dias-Porter aka DJ Renegade read some of his poems from the new book Ideas of Improvisation, a virtuosic piece of prosody that includes many references to the jazz greats; Nancy Reddy on her new poetry book Pocket Universe and the excellent anthology The Long Devotion co-edited with Emily Perez. We also have upcoming episodes including Chiwan Choi, Laura Jaramillo, the spoken word students (!!!), and Farid Matuk. I hope you'll tune in for those!

I'm on sabbatical and writing some more short stories. This means I'm thinking a lot about free indirect speech and also whatever happened to that person I went to school with 35 years ago--which is pretty fun. 

Have a great and most of all safe summer--!
