Mahogany L. Browne is a California born, Brooklyn based writer, educator, activist, mentor, and curator. We first saw her at a reading at Greenlight bookstore in Ft Greene Brooklyn and we were struck. Since then she’s held teaching and mentoring positions at the Neyourican, BRIC, BAM, Pratt, and even more positions both nationally and internationally. In short, she is a force. And if that wasn’t perfectly clear in writing, it became crystal clear in real life on our ride this spring where we talk about everything from travel, to eating, the idea of “pressure cooker” art, and finally, when enough is enough. Take a listen. Original music by Arlen Ginsburg

If we had to pin Robyn as a single or an album, we’d definitely say she’s a special edition re-released double disk of b-sides, rare tracks, and backstage stories. But that’s only if you pinned us down. Join us for episode two, Wheelers, and listen to designer and writer Robyn Kanner talk with us on a drive from Brooklyn to the Lower East Side. It was a warm night, with some hot coffee and an equally hot convo. Listen up! As usual, you’ll find links below to some of Robyn’s work, along with a link to her RAD playlist that feels like a goddamned love letter straight to our hearts. And we accept, with pleasure. XXoo, Wheelers! Original music by Arlen Ginsburg. https://robynkanner.com/ www.handfulofwheel.com/ www.arlenginsburg.com/

In this first episode of season three, we ride around with poet, essayist, and founding creative director of Luna Luna Magazine, Lisa Marie Basile. While bumping over the streets of Long Island City, we talk about work and play, dark magic and light, and social media in all its confining glory. We talk about how to care for our bodies in these times where even waking up feels like a challenge. You’ll also find a link below to her NEW book, Light Magic for Dark Times, a link to Luna Luna, and her author page where you can read more of her work. So check it all out, listeners—and let us know what you think! Original score by Arlen Ginsburg. https://www.lisambasile.com/ http://www.lunalunamagazine.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Light-Magic-Dark-Times-Practices/dp/1592338534 https://www.handfulofwheel.com/ https://www.arlenginsburg.com/

As our season 2 cap this year, we are happy to premiere HOW MIC, Handful of Wheel's Micro In-Car Residency Series. For this project we were joined in the car by six writers and riders, who created flash-poetry and fiction, while being driven through the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. All the audio you hear on this track was recorded in-car, after the pieces were written, leaving no time for editing or correction of any kind. It is our hope that these moments reflect the feeling of the writers as they moved through the landscape in a reflective, reactionary way. In a stroke of good luck, we were joined on this project by composer and audio engineer, Adam Raymonda, whose masterful work took this track to the next level. All the music and effects you hear are his vision come to life. In the corporeal world, we passed these texts over to our friends at Fem Foundry, and they created images to accompany the writing. With the help of the crew at txt books printing press, we were able to produce a limited print of hand-cut chapbooks of HOW MIC, which can be found in and around Brooklyn. If you read all this, thank you. If you listened, THANK YOU. Please share this labor of love, if you feel so inclined. That's it for season 2. Buckle up, kiddos
