  • Breaking In

    Loving this podcast. Learning a lot about poetry, poets, form and breaking it with these two (sage and sassy sirens). Truly, thank you for your compassionate accessible teaching and for giving a louder voice to women and queer poets.

  • Information-rich & Thought-provoking—but in a fun way

    Aaron and James are the Trixie and Katya of poetry—and I am here for it. At a time when too many contemporary U.S. poets and poetry critics take it all too seriously, along come Aaron and James, who are a fizzy anodyne to the stuffiness. The epi on T. S. Eliot’s “love” life is a thing of wonder. ♥️

  • Half kiki, half seminar

    A must-listen for poets. I love the depth of discussion on craft and how approachable they make it with their expertly curated mini syllabus for each episode. I can't multitask with this pod, it's for close listening and co-reading. Luckily, it's a breezy and fun 30 minutes! Truly a gift.

  • Great podcast

    I really love how there are fun topics that are brought up here and also references to many other authors and the knowledge of the author. This is a podcast that comes from a very thoughtful, inclusive, and enjoyable place. Very entertaining and informative. Love it!

  • Great talks

    I really like how these two will talk about anything. But thoughtfully and playfully too. You can tell the love of life and intelligence in them. Very enjoyable even though I don’t know squat about poetry.
