Our second night at the Kansas City Poetry Throwdown. We stop by the march for science. We interview poets. We record poems. We talk to the organizers about their thoughts on the event.

Hey, here we are from the Kansas City Poetry Throwdown. We got a lot of John Dorsey this week. Next week, several other poets from the event. Also, me and Margaret just log our adventures.

Nate has trouble with his lawn. Nate has trouble with ham, but plays us a new theme song. Liz don't take kindly to Easter--which leads to more ham troubles. Crocker now offers marriage counseling. Something something Rocky Balboa.

Special guest: Poet Kevin Hibsman. The '90s 'zine revolution. Inner-child always out. Everyone loves puppy videos. The world's not made for sensitive people. The Beat Generation. A small town poetic empire. Finally, Dan tries (and fails) to fake it until he makes it.

Special guest: Poet Les Kay. We talk poetry, Diamond David Lee Roth, Tom Waits, as well as the way good mental health help can be considered an unobtainable luxury for the working class.

Probably our most political episode to date. Still funny! Now with less Latuda!

This week, regular contributors B, James Brubaker and Chase Dimock are live in the studio. We cover a variety of topics: Who would win in a fight between a 'possum man and an octopus bird? We analyze dreams. We talk Planet of the Apes 4 and 12 Monkeys. The "science" of Kirk Cameron. We all do a funny voice. You never cross a Sugarbaker woman. In theory, Sanesplaining is a weekly podcast loosely based around mental illness. The host is bipolar. We try to take a funny look at mental health, nerd stuff and poetry and fiction. Most weeks we have an interview. In practice, we talk about a lot of different stuff. We hope it's funny, and we hope you enjoy it. You can follow us on Twitter @Sanesplaining. You can subscribe to the podcast via YouTube or iTunes.

Santa Clarita Diet and codependency. Who'd win in a fight between a 'possum and a racoon? Between a fish-man and a bird-man? The main bear in Missouri. Which animal is most likely to get ya?

Guest: Dr. James Brubaker. I, for one, welcome our new fish-people overlords. AWP. Planet of the Apes is still relevant. Mental illness in television. The Jessie Spano problem. DS9. I love Franco.

Dr. Chase Dimock returns. We take a deep dive into the Twilight Zone and what it has to say about mental illness. Also, the secret life of Masons. Ghost or hallucination? Paul Lynde stops by. No one is more beautiful than a young William Shatner. Finally, we steer into our crazy.
