JT Gleason is a skater and concrete enthusiast from Charleston, SC who has spent a good amount of time in Asheville helping out at the Foundation. JT got a big shout out from Alex Irvine in Episode 8 so I'm happy that I somehow wrangled him into doing an episode himself. I first came across JT at the Boone DIY when he was lending a hand with his concrete finishing expertise on a quarter pipe build for my crew at the time. He's had a nice stint as a sponsored skater for Coda skateboards and has traveled all over the world for skate trips and building projects alike. In this episode we talk about sacking handrails, working at a chocolate factory, building skateparks overseas, and much, much more. He's currently staying and working in Dugspur, VA at The Ranch Camp putting some finishing touches on the vast network of concrete stoke that's growing out there. All in all it was a blessing to meet up and have a conversation with someone who I had known about for a long time but never properly met. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did.
Alex Irvine is an Asheville, NC based skater, builder, and artist who has played a huge part in the creation and expansion of the Asheville Foundation DIY spot. His meticulous craftsmanship, creativity, and work ethic are all to credit for Foundation being the unique and organic spot that it is. We spent a lot of time discussing his remarkable accomplishments as a commissioned ceramics artist, and how he has spilled his learnings and experience from his work life over into the skateboarding world. Check out www.alexirvineceramics.com for a primer on some of the wildly impressive pieces he's produced for some big-time clients. He has also assumed the role of designer for the upcoming renovations to Asheville's Food Lion skatepark, acting as a link between the city and the skate community. There's a lot to digest in this one, and I hope his story inspires you all to get busy bringing your own visions into reality.

Ten minutes with... is a special series presented by Coode Street that sees readers and booklovers from around the world talk about what they're reading right now and what's getting them through this strange time. Today Jonathan spends ten minutes with Alex Irvine, award-winning author of A Scattering of Jades, One King, One Soldier, The Narrows, and Buyout and they discuss the pleasure of re-reading the crime novels of Elmore Leonard and Tristram Shandy, a biography of Blake, Salman Rushdie's take on Quixote, and Alex's new short novel, Anthropocene Rag. Books mentioned include: Anthropocene Rag by Alex Irvine The crime novels of Elmore Leonard The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne Blake by Peter Ackroyd Quichotte by Salman Rushdie There There by Tommy Orange
This week, Jonathan and Gary are back together (with no guests) for the first time in several weeks, and we discuss the inevitable: the current pandemic, and the various ways in which it was and was not anticipated by past science fiction narratives—not only of worldwide plagues but of alien invasion stories and tales of isolation. But we also find time to touch upon the reading we've both been up to, including Gene Wolfe's final novel, Lavie Tidhar's reinvention of the Arthurian tales By Force Alone and some recent titles edited by Jonathan himself, including Zen Cho's The Order of the Full Moon Reflected in Water and Alex Irvine's Anthropocene Rag. We also encourage listeners to check out our newly launched series of short "Ten Minutes With . . ." podcasts, and to support not only their local bookstores, but independent publishers, including our beloved Locus magazine, who like so many people are facing unprecedented stresses in the current economic environment.

To think we used to put young criminals in jail. I'm sorry. I don't mean to eavesdrop. Or should I say eaveswatch? What is the comparable term for using one's visual sense in a surreptitious fashion? Dining establishments are a superb venue for such observations. But it is true, no? What good could their example do if they were shut away from public view? Ah. I am being rude. My name is Andrew Blankenship. Esquire, in the interest of completeness. | Copyright 2018 by Alex Irvine. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
