I finally managed to upload this episode. It only took me like a month and a half! I have on my friend, warrior philosopher and owner of thunder lumber we shall call Random Chicagoan. If you want to find out his full title, you’ll just have to watch and/or listen. Also Jon formerly of The Angry Black Rant Z podcast will be taking on co-hosting duties once again. I REALLY want that invite to the cookout. Afro-pessimism is the topic, and if you want to know what that is, I encourage you to listen on my boy expound and explain. This is some good shit y’all.

Well Zach and I basically had another one of our bull sessions. We talked about beer (of course). We also spoke about For All Mankind, a badass show on Apple Plus you should definitely check out. My favorite YouTuber came up as well as his lovely sound drops. And of course no episode would be complete without some discussion of our dystopian political landscape and how badly we’re fucked. Pretty uplifting stuff. Come check it out!

After a 2 1/2 year hiatus, the Podunk Polymath returns. I’m getting back to basics, so it’s just myself. I’m going back to The Podunk Polymath, but now it’s a program and not a podcast because I haven’t had an RSS feed in years lol. And to get off on the right foot, Zach joins me and may well be a regular fixture. Get excited y’all!

On this episode I spoke to my younger brother Brian about his two poetry books. I spoke to him about what inspired him to write, what some of the inspirations are for his poems, and what his goals are for the future. We also talked about some political topics and he read me some of his poems. Give it a watch, and then check out his books!
