We're welcoming in season 2 with Kalie Reid, an author based out of Northern Ireland whose debut novel the Sacred Space Between emerges November 2025. We spoke about building worlds, our love of reading, and what happens when the things you write start to reflect your own inner parts.

In this episode we talk to the wonderful Ann of Arcasian, an illustrator based out of Canada who's made a beautiful career out of building homes in her art, both literally and metaphorically. We discuss the ways grief lives in tandem with other emotions, how a "haunted house" can mean a lot of different things, a sweet bear that eats your dreams to keep them safe, and how art can be a tool to create the world you want to see.

You can find Ann in the following haunts:

Today we're talking to Cissy of Cissy Art Cafe, an illustrator based out of NYC who creates illustrations and crafts depicting vignettes of daily life influenced by her Chinese heritage. We discuss creating art from joy, the "I can do that" trait, if the Devil Wears Prada was just cats, and how sometimes 100% is going to look a little different every day.

I'm overjoyed to bring you this episode with Erin Rose Coffin, a poet from Charlotte, North Carolina who sat with me on her porch and talked to me about the beauty of people, the accessibility of poetry, keeping memories as best you can, and about her Goodyear Arts installation. This episode was recorded live, so you'll also enjoy hearing the time pass in spring; be prepared for birds, some traffic, an owl swooping ahead, and a welcome interruption from Bird, Erin's cat.
Also included are live recordings from Erin's poetry reading opening for Sadie Dupuis at I've Read it in Books, a local Charlotte bookstore.

The poems you'll hear in order:
You Are Who I Love
Invasive
In the Shower When Your Marriage is Finally Over
Still Drowning
Love Letter to Myself
I Hope When the World Ends

You can find Erin at her website, https://www.erinrosecoffin.com/.

HI ALL and thank you so much for your patience - a nasty cold found me the day after we recorded this, and I wanted to spare you all the pain of listening to me try to cough my way through an intro.
