I will be very surprised if there’s anyone left to see this podcast file uploaded. In any case, I have recorded a podcast similar in style to NPR’s “Writer’s Almanac” series… but I am using spam poetry, which seems to be my latest obsession. In between spoems, I feature music from the United Kingdom and the United States. You can read more spam poems or read along to the poems featured in this podcast by browsing at the Anthology of Spam Poetry site.

Akua Fujii Erratically Exasperating Did I mention how much I don’t like the sound of my voice? Fantômas 4/18/05 From their Suspended Animation album, which is freakishly good. Can you believe that this group features the ex-drummer for Slayer, vocalist from Faith No More, and a bunch of other great guys?! Dorsey Saldana Quinton nerve sheath news As much as I enjoy reading the works of spam poets, I hate reading them out loud into a microphone. NEXT PODCAST: Okay. Are we cool now? Can I go home now?
