Here's a Q&A Mailbag episode to bridge the gap between Seasons Two and Three! 

We received questions through the Typeform link in every episode's show notes, as well as via Bluesky, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, and by email. There were so many great topic ideas and discussion prompts, in fact, that there is another ~30-minute 'bonus of the bonus' episode available for Patreon subscribers to enjoy as well.

The first episode of Season Three will be published Monday, June 22nd, 2026. Until then, happy listening!

The moderator for this Q&A episode is Nate Simpson, a many-times published and much celebrated Canadian poet, and a co-founder of the monthly writers group Geoff Micks has belonged to for more than a decade.

Born in Guelph, Ontario, and raised in the wilds of the countryside east of Fergus, Nate Simpson now writes, runs, and lives in Toronto. Nate’s poems have appeared in Words/Pauses/Noises, Juniper, the Hart House Review, and the Spadina Literary Review, amongst other publications. A number of these poems and others works are included in his chapbook, “Hard Red Berries.”

Nate writes at A Transit Diary, of Sorts. Purchase your copy of Hard Red Berries here. What could be better? Well, purchase your copy of Hard Red Berries plus an online reading by Nate here!

Proceeds from every Hard Red Berries chapbook and chapbook plus reading package sold will be donated to Story Planet!, a Toronto-based registered charity, "...devoted to amplifying the voices of children and young people in Toronto's equity-deserving communities. Our creative writing and arts programs inspire kids to imagine and write stories while building literacy, confidence, and self-worth." (Charitable # 827252057RR0001)
