Episode 15: Episode 15: The Inner Landscape with Western Slope Poet Laureate Wendy Videlock
John and Christie have a chat with Palisadian - and new Western Slope Poet Laureate - Wendy Videlock to talk about her new role, which is to spread poetry far and wide. Wendy also discusses her artistic journey as both a poet and a visual artist, her tendency to write in rhyme and meter (and how she gets through to publications that avoid them), and her recent book of essays and poetry, The Poetic Imaginarium: A Worthy Difficulty. Nobody on this podcast likes small-talk, so John dives deep with Wendy on topics such as: Can bad people make good art? Is there a difference between poetry by men and poetry by women? And, is all poetry actually about death? This is a long one, but we only kept the good parts.

Episode 14: Episode 14: Literary Map-Making with Peter Anderson
This year, Colorado author, poet, journalist, and Crestone Poetry Festival founder Peter Anderson completed a book ten years in the making. Reading Colorado: A Literary Road Guide takes readers on major and minor highways throughout Colorado, making place-centric literary pit-stops along the way. In this episode, John and Christie talk to Peter about "deepening the map" of Colorado, how a literary map even comes together despite the magnitude of such a project, his career-long fascination with how landscapes affect people, and what you can expect at the upcoming Crestone Poetry Festival (this week!). Other topics include Peter's brief stint living in the ghost town of St. Elmo, and a deep dive into why so many types of people - from spiritualists to cowboys - end up in Crestone. If you love the concept of "place" in writing, you don't want to skip this one.

Episode 13: Episode 13 - Absolutely Delusional: 5 Years of Slamming Bricks
On September 9th, 2023, the fifth iteration of Slamming Bricks - the largest queer-focused invitational poetry slam competition in the Four Corners region - took place at the Avalon Theater in Grand Junction, Colorado. In this episode, Caleb Ferganchick, the founder and organizer of Slamming Bricks, looks back at 5 years of hard work to tell the colorful story of how the event came to exist, how intersectionality played a key role in helping it grow (from 100 attendees to over 500), and how being "absolutely delusional" is sometimes necessary when you're chasing a big dream. Featuring slam poetry performances by Pepper Ruzin, Briana Hammerstrom, Adrienne Cascarella, and Caleb Ferganchick. Note: This episode contains recordings of poetry performances that use curse words in the context of artistic expression.
