I have deeply missed this podcast in a way that this episode felt like coming home. The tenderness, the talks on vulnerability, ugh. Thank you for your statements at the beginning of this episode and thank you for the starting once over again with us listeners. Much much love 🩶

I used to absolutely adore this podcast when Franny and Danez were the hosts (I never missed an episode), but the hosts who replaced them are not nearly as articulate, thoughtful, or sincere— which has drastically reduced the quality of the conversations. When I do occasionally listen to Vs now (which is not often), I’m immediately turned off by the current hosts’ interview style and often can’t even finish the episode, which, again, is disappointing as this was once my go-to podcast.

Thank you for your statement in solidarity with Palestine. Have always been a big fan of this podcast, and especially appreciate you for this clear and principled stance. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸

I’m a poet myself and one thing I hate is poets acting better than others. That does NOT happen here. This is real discussions with real people with poetry as a reason to talk. Keep on!
