This first episode is about growing up. 
Instead of hitting you over the head with Spoons famous collaborations (Ani DiFranco, Jamie Foxx...) we thought it'd be better to set the scene with where Spoon comes from: Barstow CA, the desert.

Spoon reads a poem about a pig and maggots, talks about growing up, I talk to my parents about how I didn't go to prison, and Spoon ends with a wonderful poem about his mom and deer that came to dinner.

A show to help you give a shit about poetry … or just give a shit.

Diving inside and outside of prison to get to some weird and hard truths At Night I Fly inspires awe through interviews, poetry, field pieces, and a deep array of original music and sound design. Equal parts Ear Hustle, Radiolab, Planet Money, and Ten Things that Scare Me.

Spoon Jackson is a poet and journalist from Barstow CA currently 42 years into a life sentence. In the show we read a poem — maybe you like it — then we dive into the history, context, and themes. At the end we re-read the poem and maybe this time — god damn it — you do like it. 

Spoons radio work has appeared on The Pulse, Reveal, and his own show Uncuffed. He has multiple poetry books and a memoir. Matthew Schneeman is a radio/podcast producer who has been featured on public radio, podcasts, and his own show Your Eulogy.
