Poet's Return - The Poetry Podcast

The Return of Poet's Return


Listen Later

As tangential and informed as ever, (Ron being the latter and Mel being the former,) we are back! 


Yes, it has been almost TWO YEARS since we were last together in the studio and yes, a LOT has happened, but more than that, we are grateful that you are persevering with us through this wild world. 


Although we share about some of the artistic hardships we’ve encountered over the last couple of years, there is also plenty of good news.


Ron shares about booking his first National Commercial with NBA and Google (no big deal.) He talks about the work he’s put in over the years and how it pays off on set when the director is confident enough in your skills to let you improvise for ten minutes (most of his improv ended up in final takes!) 


He also shares about his upcoming albums and projects in the musical arena, before rapping three pieces for us as Philasifer.


Aquarian” at minute 34:18

Fog of War” at minute 39:21


Finally, he closes the episode out with “Wander” at minute 52:21


Mel shares about writing and producing her first immersive show last spring and working on a novel about mental illness and personality disorders (something she knows NOTHING about we’re sure.) She shares a short essay “Nothing Just is” at minute 45:00



We also discuss world matters, matters of sport, matters of punk rock, a dash of local history, and of course, matters of art and passion. As always, we appreciate you being on this journey with us and we look forward to having some new and old artists in the studio with us again very soon. 


Stay tuned for bonus footage and behind the scenes bits released soon!
