    S3/E5 - Fiona Lam's acid grammar

    Jason welcomes Vancouver's Poet Laureate for a ramble about Emily of New Moon, writing into fear & anxiety, concrete corpses in the living room, goth trenchcoats, werewolves draped in mourning, having some feelings & a trombone, reading to dogs, & the real answer to the question "How do I get published?" Music, as always, by savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo. Thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork & to Joe Emde for help with the intro.

    S3/E3 - Licorice variations and mac & cheese masks with Corinna Chong

    Jason welcomes Corinna Chong for a confab about when we stop regretting the people—& the writers—we used to be, plugging gaps with memories, plagiarizing ABBA, the power of end stops, the superpowers writers need, heart worms, licorice holders, & defacing pristine notebooks. Music by savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo. Thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork & photography & to handsome, teenage Joe Emde for help with the intro.

    S3/E2 - Love & despair & barbaric beauty with Daniel Powter

    Jason welcomes songwriter & musician Daniel Powter for a chinwag about the mysteries of remote Vernon, British Columbia, skipping class to play piano, how Jason didn't launch Daniel's musical career, smashed violins, Prince's Lovesexy tour, not impressing your mum, not knowing who's the prime minister of Canada, and Nite Magic anti-action. Music by Daniel, with an assist from savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo. Thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork & photography & to handsome Joe Emde for help with the intro.

    S3/E1 - After That: Lorna Crozier

    S3/E1 - After That: Lorna Crozier

    Jason welcomes Lorna Crozier for a gab & a yak about stone angels, that shivery sense good writing gives you, being corny & earnest, unwrapping your brain, just what it is about cats anyway, Kerouac in Vernon, riding the poem wherever it wants to go, and how, by God, there is light. And then Lorna makes Jason cry. Music by savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo, artwork by Wayne Emde, & help with the intro from handsome Joe Emde.

    S2/E16 - Clash of the Tender Cringe Titans

    S2/E16 - Clash of the Tender Cringe Titans

    We're not sinking—we're crashing! Jason welcomes the titans of Season One back for a clash of cringe that runs the gamut from brambles & hassles to madness levels to walls dripping tears to using the microwave after 10 pm to the wind blowing you from behind. This is early shit that's WAY too legit to quit.  Dave Antich, Victoria Taylor, Alison Wassermann, & David White serve up the shamans & bodysuits & all you have to do is sit back & enjoy the show, from the unhinged, Cure-influenced, car-centric pop of Mr. White to the fab beats of savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo (www.youtube.com/channel/UC2U1n0V9JT89-tH2fNubDMg). Many thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork & Joe Emde for help with the intro. Join the early sh*t chat at https://www.facebook.com/WRTESpodcast & on Instagram @writersreadtheirearlyshit & thank you, wherever & whoever & however you are, for listening.
