| 5/14/26 | ![]() (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Jennifer Chassman Browne as my guest. | Jennifer Chassman Browne Disabled writer and storyteller Jenn has lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis since she was six years old. While she was an active and athletic child, as an adult, her arthritis has become more limiting. It’s been a challenging process for her to redefine her sense of self and to accept these limitations, while still trying to move forward and to work around them. Despite her disability, she has been able to remain active. For most of her professional life, Jenn has been an English teacher and school leader, and has loved the time that she spent with the teenagers that she taught, many of whom she still has in her life. For the past seven years, she has worked as a DEI and disability advocate. In her work as a disability advocate and educator, she brings disability awareness into all of the work that she does. Too often, serving people with disabilities is not part of the national conversation. She helps the people with whom she works to consider how we can create a world that is more inclusive of all people, including people with disabilities. Jenn works to educate people about the strengths and gifts that people with disabilities have. Everyone has something that limits them, and success asks that we simply move forward even with the limitations that we have. That said, we need allies, systems, and structures that ensure our inclusion and success. Jenn has also earned certification as a listener poet and is invested in working with organizations to use the listener poet process as part of a support system for those in careers with a high emotional demand. Jenn loves writing, and collaborated with her husband, Kevin, on a poetry collection last year. She most enjoys spending time with her sweetie and her pup, Indy, at home on the central coast of California. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 32m 30s | ||||||

Like waves that erase footprints before they are fully understood, this episode reflects on how memories, feelings, and thoughts come and go, leaving only echoes behind. Through imagery of night, water, and silence, it invites listeners to embrace impermanence, find beauty in passing moments, and discover meaning in the spaces where reflection and imagination meet.

| 3/30/26 | ![]() (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Sayima as my guest. | Sayima . Stillness & Poetry I’m Sayima, a Tanzanian-born writer currently living in France. My work is rooted in emotional healing, identity and the quiet power of softness in a performance-driven world. My debut poetry collection, ‘heart based’, reflects my own experience, from navigating cultural and religious expectations of my country of origin to rebuilding a sense of inner belonging across cultures, languages and countries that I moved to. These poems began as journal entries written in moments that later became blessings in disguise, leading me to question who I truly was if I let go of everything that once defined me. I’ve shared ‘heart based’ through a tour across France, in English-language bookstores and at literary festivals like La Comédie du Livre in Montpellier (the biggest literary festival in the country), where I connected with readers from around the world. That experience showed me how the book’s themes resonate with people across different cultures. My hope is for ‘heart based’ to spark a meaningful dialogue and connection, inviting listeners to engage with its themes. Whenever preferred, it would be lovely to send you a copy for your honest reflection and review. Let me know what works for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 3/21/26 | ![]() Abstract Poetry in its second session, features Dewy as my guest. | Have you been craving something... aberrant? Title Goes Here is a foolish adventure via a collection of curious stories and unusual styles. Through your journey, you will follow a fool's path to exile, hear from presidential candidate Sally McBride, and even learn how to be invisible. First on your itinerary is a section of existential poetry that includes a sobering look at the true cost of watches and war. Next are five short stories that range from mildly funny to so abjectly bleak they warrant a trigger warning. Lastly, you are walked through original spells that provide an eclectic viewpoint of magical concepts such as summonings, immortality and the aforementioned invisibility in a surprisingly applicable and practical manner. Together, your expedition is one of disillusionment. It is my hope that you will be a more foolish person after having read Title Goes Here. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 3/15/26 | ![]() (Bonus Episode) Abstract Essay, in its fifth season, features Autumn Williams as your guest—bringing depth, perspective, and reflective insight to the conversation. | This episode moves beyond surface dialogue and into layered thought, examining ideas through narrative, philosophy, and lived experience. Autumn Williams joins you to explore themes of personal evolution, resilience, and the power of intentional storytelling. Her perspective emphasizes that growth is rarely linear; it is shaped by disruption, reflection, and reinvention. Through analytical discussion and personal insight, the episode highlights how individuals reconstruct identity after challenge. The conversation also dissects the role of mindset in shaping outcomes. Autumn articulates how belief systems influence behavior patterns and how self-awareness becomes the catalyst for transformation. Rather than offering abstract motivation, she provides structured reflection—encouraging listeners to interrogate their assumptions and refine their internal narrative. In true Abstract Essay fashion, this episode blends intellectual discourse with practical introspection. It invites your audience to think critically, question deeply, and articulate their own evolving philosophies. The dialogue becomes less about answers and more about refinement of thought.

| 3/10/26 | ![]() (Bonus Episode) Abstract Essay in its sixth season, features Dr. Jeffrey Bone as my guest. | Jeffrey Bone Dr. Jeffrey Bone is a chronic illness mentor, living with Common Variable Immune Deficiency, podcast host, and author of two collections of poetry, coloring books, and a chronic illness journal. For more than two decades, Jeff has worked as a mental health specialist helping people navigate the emotional terrain of chronic pain and illness. Day after day he sat with clients whose bodies had betrayed them, people trying to build meaningful lives in bodies that would not cooperate. He helped them face fear, uncertainty, grief, and the quiet loneliness that often comes with long-term illness. Then life asked him to walk the same road. Jeff lives with Common Variable Immune Deficiency, a rare immune disorder that requires ongoing treatment and brings the same fatigue, uncertainty, and physical limitations that many of his patients face. Suddenly the theories were no longer just ideas discussed in a therapy room. What do you do when your body stops being reliable. How do you build a life when health is uncertain. How do you keep meaning when plans collapse. Instead of stepping away from the work, Jeff stepped deeper into it. He began writing poetry to give shape to experiences that medicine could not fix. He wrote guided meditations for people lying awake with pain. He created conversations about the psychological reality of chronic illness that rarely get talked about openly. His work blends existential psychology, acceptance based therapies, and the raw honesty that comes from living inside the problem rather than observing it from the outside. Today Jeff shares those ideas through books, guided meditations, and his podcast, helping people understand that chronic illness is not only a medical experience. It is an existential one. It raises questions about identity, meaning, isolation, freedom, and how to build a life when the body is no longer predictable. On a podcast, Jeff brings a rare perspective. He is both the mental health specialist and the patient. He understands the science of pain and the philosophy of suffering, but he also knows what it feels like to sit in the infusion chair, to face uncertainty about the future, and to rebuild a life around new limits.

| 1/28/26 | ![]() Book 101 Review, in its sixth season features Mickie Kennedy an Award winning gay poet as my guest. | Mickie Kennedy Award winning gay poet writing about childhood trauma, mental illness, survival, and healing. Mickie Kennedy is a gay poet whose life spans three distinct chapters that resonate deeply with listeners. A violent childhood marked by silence and fear. An adolescence shaped by the AIDS crisis, where desire and danger were inseparable. And a present grounded in reflection, healing, and survival. He doesn’t speak as an expert offering solutions. He speaks as someone who lived through it and learned how to name it later. What makes Mickie a strong podcast guest is his ability to talk about trauma without turning it into spectacle. He understands how to hold difficult material with care, humor, and clarity, making space for listeners who may recognize their own histories in his. His conversations often open into discussions about memory, masculinity, queerness, family systems, and what healing actually looks like over decades, not months. Hosts who book Mickie get a guest who is thoughtful, emotionally literate, and grounded. He respects the audience, honors boundaries, and knows how to tell a story that invites listeners in rather than overwhelms them. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 1/24/26 | ![]() (Bonus Episode) Abstract Essay in its Fifth season, features Andrea W LeDew as my guest. | Polemics: Political Poems & Prose The collection Polemics: Political Poems & Prose takes the reader on a disturbing, wide-eyed ride through the years 2016-2025 in the United States.

To endure the tempest of the current era, Polemics clings faithfully to old-school liberal themes. These are delivered as rhyme, essay and fiction. Its affectionately nostalgic patriotism will resonate with anyone, who has been paying attention long enough to notice, that things have changed. And not for the better. As Americans try to navigate an America they have never seen before-an America they barely recognize-Polemics will serve as an anthem, an incantation, and a call to action.

[Usurper Kings is] a work of breathtakingly beautiful discovery." Kevin Hogan Sapha Burnell’s stellar poetry collection inspects the feminine through time.
