This week, Thom Francis introduces us to local poets Alyssa Michelle & Christa DeMarco. These two dynamic writers shared their work at the Brass Tacks poetry open mic at The Low Beat in Albany on February 19, 2019. +++++ One of the casualties of the pandemic was a local venue that was home to many literary events. The Low Beat played host to the Nitty Gritty Slam, Word Fest, the Brass Tacks open mic series, and other poetry and spoken word shows until it closed in 2020. For years writers gathered together on the first and third Tuesdays to share their work and speak their mind. Featured readers from all around the country joined local, community poets on Central Avenue for events that engaged and inspired. No matter who you were or where you came from, everyone was welcome on that stage to speak their truth. On February 19, 2019, Alyssa Michelle and Christa DeMarco came out and did just that in front of a receptive audience. Alyssa is first up to the mic with two poems, “Humble” and “The Other Side of the Bed” which is, as Dan Wilcox noted on his blog, “a pile of the clothes she is going to wear tomorrow rather than a lover.” Christa DeMarco then took the stage and read an untitled poem with a lot word-play on personal and environmental themes. She finished with a piece detailing her day job as a home health aide.

Why would some Spanish speakers use adaptations of certain English words when perfectly good Spanish words for the same thing already exist? Plus, handy terms in a dictionary of the Sussex dialect from 150 years ago: Back then, a dezzick was “a day's work” and January butter was another term for “mud.” And: you can't judge a book by its cover, but the outer sides of its pages may impress you. A new trend in publishing features colorful patterns and images that look gorgeous when the book is closed. These decorations are called spredges, from the words “sprayed” and “edges.” Also: brass tacks, beevers, a punning puzzle for cinephiles, shmutzing, lonche, go chalk, archaic names for ladybugs, close-toe vs. close-toed vs. closed-toe, denominalization, mucksig, God Almighty's cow, and more.

In this inspiring conversation, Shannon sits down with Juliane Stephan, a lifelong Catalyst and Operating Partner at BayPine, to explore how Catalysts can find and craft roles that truly give them license to transform organizations. Juliane shares two key strategies she's used throughout her career: identifying ambiguity when seeking new roles externally, and making a strong business case for transformation opportunities internally.They also dive into the common challenges Catalyst executives face—like moving too fast, needing to repeatedly align others to their vision (she loves memos over powerpoints to force clarity), and operating in resource-constrained environments. Juliane offers practical insights on building trust, developing strategic networks, and creating coalitions to drive meaningful change. Finally, Juliane had some really great ideas about how to navigate the constant challenge of "doing more with less."

For the 100th “Talking With Poets” segment, Thom Francis goes way back to the beginning - the very first conversation in the series with local poet, photographer, and peace activist Dan Wilcox. To celebrate this special milestone, baseball season being in full-swing, and both of his daughters playing softball, now's the perfect time to revisit Thom's 2022 chat with Dan about his poem “Jacqueline Robinson” and more. ———— Dan Wilcox has been a major part of the local poetry community since the 1980s. He was a member of Three Guys from Albany with Charlie Rossiter and the late Tom Nattell. He is a familiar face at many literary and art events in the area, almost always with his camera in hand as he claims to have the world's largest collection of photos of unknown poets. He currently hosts the Third Thursday Poetry Night at the Social Justice Center on Central Ave. in Albany, NY. On October 16, 2018, Dan shared his poem “Waiting for Jacqueline Robinson” at Brass Tacks open mic at The Low Beat. Dan has a few poems about baseball – in fact, he has a chapbook, “Baseball Poems”, dedicated to the sport. I wanted to know more about the intersection of poetry and baseball and what inspired him to write that poem about his daughter maybe one day becoming the first female major league baseball player.

The voice you'll hear at the top of this Overdrive Radio edition is that of Overdrive's February Trucker of the Month Kenny Wingate. Clearly, he knows of what he speaks when he invokes the feeling -- "nothing like it," he said -- that he associates with best of trucking as an owner-operator, running your own game when times are good. It's part of what drove him to take the leap back from company work he was doing to launch his Southpoint Exchange businss with one truck and his own authority in 2019. He's up to two trucks today, headquartered in Auburndale, Florida: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/article/15738560/how-truckings-supposed-to-be-done-meet-kenny-wingate He's the proud owner of two sharp Peterbilt 579s and stainless reefers, and he's been focused throughout the company's relatively short six-year history on business brass tacks, building a team around him for freight with regular brokers, many of whom he's known going back decades. Likewise on the accounting, bookkeeping and general business management side of Southpoint Exchange, and he's set up for further growth after a lifetime spent trucking, as you'll hear in the podcast. He's 55 years young today and relishes that long history in the business, though many of the men he learned from, and some of those he came up with in trucking, have passed on. Magnanimous in manner, clearly on top of his game as a business owner, Wingate is also nothing if not grateful for all the help of those who came before him. He told the story of a recent encounter of an old friend at a dock. "Our generation is starting to be few and far between ... The other day I run across a gentleman I probably hadn't seen in 25 years, and we trucked together," Wingate said. "We sat down on an old wooden bench at the back of our trailers while we were getting loaded" remembering all those who came before but also "we just laughed, man, and just cut the fool, and it felt good. It felt good to see somebody that you trucked with years ago, you know, when when things were a little different." At once, most of the folks the two men asked each other about were gone, he said, or at the very least off the road for good for health or other reasons. Wingate, 55, stays grateful for his own longevity, and looks ahead to the future and opportunities to build better business with Southpoint Exchange. In the podcast, hear that perspective but also just how two-truck Southpoint Exchange is getting the work done with dedicated freight on lanes between Florida and Northern Ohio. After being nominated by one of his customers, he's officially in the running for our 2025 Trucker of the Year award, which you can enter yourself or nominate another owner via https://overdriveonline.com/toptrucker

Season 3 of Bare Knuckles and Brass Tacks is coming soon!Same human focus in cyber. Same fire.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine: First, we hear about the Rensselaer Summer Youth Employment program and how their site supervisor, May Clark, mentors youth during their employment sessions. Then, Brea Barthel shares August activities coming to the Lansingburgh Library, beginning with "big truck day" August 7th. Later on, Corey Aldrich joins us to talk about the circus that's coming to town! After that, comedian Tyler Artis will be in the studio. Finally, Thom Francis highlights poet Randee Renzi with a performance from Brass Tacks.

Thom Francis introduces us to Randee Renzi who performed her poems "Reach Out to Me", "Beautiful Brown Baby Boy", and "Peace" at the Brass Tacks poetry and spoken word open mic on September 18, 2018, at The Low Beat in Albany, NY. The power of storytelling within poetry is the ability to bring out emotions using few, well-chosen words. The poet is able to take readers into a world of vivid color and feelings. The storytelling of poetry can bring together cultural and personal divides, making it easier for different groups to understand varying points of view and experiences. Poets use rhythm, rhyme, and metaphor to develop themes of love, loss, and identity. Today, our poet, Randee Renzi, uses her words to tell the story of being a human, a woman, and a mother. Randee took the Low Beat Stage on September 18, 2018, and shared three poems. She started with a work-in-progress, "Reach Out to Me." Then, from memory, Randee recited a poem about the love and fears of being a white mother to a black son, "Beautiful Brown Baby Boy." She finished her set with a simple piece titled, appropriately enough, "Peace."
