I’m starting a new project in 2019. It’s the Spiral Thought Podcast, presenting contemporary poetry, spoken word, and interviews on a variety of themes and topics. Anyone interested in participating can reach me at spiralthought@gmail.com. Put podcast in your subject line (because I also have a small literary magazine that I’m in the process of resurrecting); include a brief bio (and a picture, if you like). Now for the trickier part: you can also include audio files of you reading several poems or a short story aloud. You can record them into the voice memo feature of your cellphone, or use Sound Recorder in your computer (some of you may have better audio software than that). Attach these files to your email message as well. I’m working on the first episode now, and plan to post it in early to mid January, 2019, and I’ll be sending out announcements about where to find it as soon as it’s posted. Thanks!
Wishing you all happy holidays, and the best for the New Year!
