Tomorrow (the tomorrow of feb 18th 2019) Thao Xiong turns himself in to the country workhouse. 
Thao is a complex figure. Addiction to drugs, meth in particular, can hurt a person and those around them - they haven't been great for Thao as well. We talk about getting arrested and his family's refugee story. This interview is about hope and regret, so something in it for everyone! Ha ha.

34 - Thao Xiong is going to jail

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.
