Dan and Margaret goof around a bit. Then we're joined by Miss B and the conversation turns more serious as Miss B and Margaret discuss their mental health in the age of Trump and the Kavanaugh hearings.

Hallucinations. Shadow People. Sleep Paralysis. Then, Dr. Chase Dimock joins us to talk about Dan's book of new and selected poems, "Leadwood," and the interview they did about it for "As It Ought to Be."

Dan talks growing up Evangelical. Then, we're joined by the always entertaining Jeanette Powers. We talk her latest tour, her new press, the price of medications and much more.

We discuss Phantasm 2 with Dr. James Brubaker. Dan loves it. Margaret dissents.

This week Margaret calls Dan's doctorate into question. The fair is a veritable smorgasbord. Dan mansplains deep-fried hamburgers. Dan's heart is as tender as a deep-fried hamburger. Vraylar and bipolar fight it out over control of Dan's brain. Our guest is Mike James, author of Crows in the Jukebox. John Dorsey also stops by. We talk Mike's new book coming out from Stubborn Mule and much more. Mike and John read some poems.

Mind numbing grief. Bereavement. Poetry. Trump is coming to town.

Mostly Dan and Margaret read poems.

Work Stress. Bob Seger. Jug Wine. Klonopin Free Weekend. SSRIs and Bipolar. The Impossible Task. Religion and Mental Illness. Dan really opens up about the anxiety he's having over his new book. Dan deletes most everything he said about his book anxiety. Maybe one day Dan will feel like sharing, but not today. Margaret's Kiss Rant. Rock.

Dan has a fun and irrational feeling of abandonment. We remember the time Ric Flair put hard times on Dusty Rhodes. Then, we're joined by poet and publisher Nathanael William Stolte. We talk mental health, poetry, gaming, a car accident, Nathanael's new manuscript and much more.

Dan takes his first Zoloft. Dan and Margaret talk about being "fine." Then, we're joined by Mark McClane, Executive Director of The Osage Arts Community in Belle, Missouri. If you've ever been interested in an artist residency, this is a the episode to listen to. We're also joined by John Dorsey, Jeanette Powers, and Zophia McDougal.
