Guest Info/Bio: This week I welcome Ryan David Green & Cameron Hood of the band Ryanhood. Named 'Best Group/Duo' in 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards, acoustic duo Ryanhood began as street-performers at Boston's Quincy Market. It was there that they were spotted by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene, where Campus Activities Magazine would name them "one of the most requested acts by college buyers all across the country." They've since gone on to perform more than a thousand shows in 45 U.S. states over the past decade, and have shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, and many more.

Comedian Rob Little from The Best Damn Sports Show, Drybar Comedy, Maxim Magazine and Budweiser's Man of the Year goes big with host Sadie Katz. PART ONE Rob LITTLE: Rob Little's outlook on life can be summed-up in two words: Pure Optimism. The ability to see things in a positive light has served him well. While working in a lucrative position as a computer programmer for IBM, he sent out an ALL-company e-mail that read, "If you aren't happy here, quit your job and follow your dream." IBM promptly gave him his walking papers, which was a blessing for Rob and comedy lovers nationwide. Last Comic Standing on NBC agreed and named him “The Happiest Comic in America”. A sketch comedy player on the Fox Sports Net Show, "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" and Comedy Central's “Nick Swardson's Pretend Time”. Little uses his training from the world famous Second City Improv Comedy Club to create routines that are inventive, funny, spontaneous, and completely unique. Having established himself as one of the peak performers in Clubs, Colleges, Cruises, and Corporates within the Country, it's easy to understand why the Detroit Free press selected him as the “Best up and Coming Comedian,” Campus Activities Magazine named him “College Comedian of the Year,” Carnival Cruise line named him “Top Cruise Line Comedian,” and Maxim Magazine along with Budweiser named him the “Real Man of Comedy”.

I caught up with straight girl/lesbian, best friend comedy duo Carlie and Doni for episode 8. Based in Los Angeles. They are regulars at The Improv and have a monthly show there called “Your Mom Says Hi!” which won a Global Accolade Award of Excellence and has been featured in festivals ITVFest and Out Web Fest. The girls have Headlined Universities and Comedy Clubs all over the country and their music video “Gangsta Waitress” features cameos by both Lily Tomlin and Richard Lewis. Carlie and Doni were voted best comedians in L.A. by Los Angeles Magazine as well as Hot Comics to watch by Campus Activities Magazine and I was so lucky to catch up with them with therapist Matthew Shima to chat about being fluid as fuck. That’s right, we’re talking about sexual orientation and how each of us has and continues to navigate the spectrum that is our sexuality - together, Carlie, Doni and I represent the spectrum and unveil some of the issues and hang ups that we’ve experienced coming into our own as straight, fluid and gay women.

His credits as a composer/arranger/singer/musician include TV shows like General Hospital, NBC Sports and Friends, commercials for major advertisers like McDonald's, Budweiser, and Chevrolet, and animated series including The Addams Family, Power Puff Girls, Life with Louie and Bill Cosby's "Fatherhood". He moved to Branson 20 years ago to raise his 3-year-old daughter and has never looked back. Twelve years ago he was a founding member of #1 Hits of the 60's, where he met the lovely lady that is now his wife, Amber Campbell. Amber Campbell Amber is a native of LaRussell, MO and a graduate of Southwest Baptist University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theatre, with a Music Minor. Amber has loved getting to perform and raise her beautiful daughter Jade in the Branson community. She has been a featured vocalist and MC for several Branson shows over the years, but her most rewarding experience has been owning, producing and performing in #1 Hits of the 60’s (& 50’s too!) #1 Hits of the 60's (and 50's Too!) touches over 100 songs from the great artists of the 60's and 50's - Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, Paul Anka, Buddy Holly, Petula Clark, The Beatles... the list goes on and on. Add over 100 costume changes, fun video and a talented cast of seven and you've got the recipe for the show dubbed "The Most Fun You'll have In Branson." But the thing that really distinguishes #1 Hits of the 60's (& 50's too) from any other show is that each and every performer on stage is passionate about the fact that the unforgettable music and its connection to the audience is what's important.

As we prepared for Episode 6, something new happened: a poet whose work we wanted to read and discuss on our podcast said, “No.” It was bound to happen some time and it did---a month and a half in. As we prepared for Episode 6, something new happened: a poet whose work we wanted to read and discuss on our podcast said, “No.” It was bound to happen some time and it did---a month and a half in. We talked about it and acknowledged that some people are simply not going to be ready, some people are going to let fear win over curiosity, and some people are simply not going to ever want their work discussed in such a public manner---a recorded manner that will always exist. We were disappointed to receive our first “No,” but it caused us to revisit the vulnerability of what we are doing here: taking a writer’s work and picking it apart, separating the juicy poetic goodness from the bone. For most writers, they never get to hear what editors think of their poems, regardless of whether they were accepted or denied. The feedback we are getting uses the word transparency a lot, with that term directed at the transparency of our editorial conversation, but whoa—the writers who are brave for sharing--for writing in the first place—have to peel another layer back to submit to a podcast. We are grateful that the people we asked so far said, Yes, even though they were scared. Their bravery makes us feel brave, too, and like we’re doing the right thing with this project. Tell us what you think on our FB Episode 6 event page. We will be looking at two poets today, and the first poet up is Carlos Gomez. We discussed, Morning, Rikers Island, Black Hair, and Interracial in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Gomez is a renaissance man with too many skills and too many awards for us to reiterate here! Poet, actor, essayist—it seems wherever he directs his attention, great things happen. After you read these poems we know you’ll want more, so we suggest you start here. Let us tell you his last three accomplishments, just so you get the idea: the cover story on of Brass Magazine. He was ONLY voted Best Diversity Artist in Campus Activities Magazine’s 2016 Reader’s Choice Awards. And oh, year, he is featured in The New York Times documentary short film A Conversation with Latinos on Race! So that’s what he’s been up to in just the last few months! Check out his performance schedule—practically no matter where you are he’ll be there this spring and summer. None of Gomez’s poems were unanimous acceptances, but all three were accepted. From the first line, the light in Morning, Rikers Island resonated with us, and we applauded the craft and elegance of this poem. Interracial in Flatbush, Brooklyn has such specific narrative imagery that we all felt immersed in this scene, and a final moment that resonates. Black Hair had a very different tone, voice, and format from the other two, and our editors were simply engaged in the story just under the surface. We discussed Adam Day a bit in Episode 5—take a look and listen back to see how these poems ended up in our podcast at all! We discussed The Quiet Life, My Telemachus, and Openango. Anyone who has been reading literary magazines for a while has seen work by Adam Day. His latest book is Model of a City in Civil War (Sarabande Books), and his latest awards are a Poetry Society of America Chapbook Fellowship for Badger, Apocrypha, a PEN Emerging Writers Award, and an Al Smith Fellowship from the Kentucky Arts Council. It’s hard to keep up with this author. If you need to catch up, visit. If you miss him, watch this video. You’ll have to listen to find out which of the three poems we accepted, but know this: we had a great time discussing them! Tell us what you think at our FB event page. We enjoyed the passion behind The Quiet Life, and the humor of both My Telemachus and Openango; we’re betting you will, too. Thank you for your patience as we’re learning as we go here in the podcast world, we’d love to know what you think – let us know on our Facebook page!

Read on! -KVM Present at the Editorial Table: Kathleen Volk Miller Marion Wrenn Jason Schneiderman Miriam Haier Tim Fitts Melody Nielson Production Engineer: Joe Zang PBQ Box Score: 4=2 ------------------------------- Carlos Gomez Morning, Rikers Island Physics and light pierce the hollow stench of the forgotten gymnasium stripped naked of clocks. All the boys stopped. Offered their grief to each other like water, glancing out the only window they all shared. A single ray unfolds its warmth across the dusty belly of the thudded parquet; and here’s the miracle— another day had come. Interracial in Flatbush, Brooklyn We watch them do this, expand from all directions like lungs abruptly filling with water, as we hold hands and walk through the eye of another storm. A man grabs his crotch, offering it to my wife, flings a mouthful of spit and epithets towards us. Each pupil is a dim swamp flooding, silence blanketing a shallow body in Neshoba County, dusk shedding its absence across the congealed oven grease beneath a rusted burner. A woman’s neck swivels when we pass, wraps a hard vowel around her tongue like lighter fluid choking a glass bottle holding a fuse. On this corner, scored by dancehall and soca, there is nothing more novel than me and my love’s contrasting hues—it ignites a rush of color from these strangers’ faces. They ring us a violence familiar as February weather, mine our skin for metaphors, demand we offer answers to questions they are still forming like infants from their throats. I have watched my body’s primal wisdom flicker dark as a fist-concealed palm, ache so volatile it screams for release. Rage is a language I unlearn on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Church, no shoreline or cathedrals in sight, only fractured things decorating a broken sidewalk like littered snow. A new voice pierces the air, a flood of sound that hits me like a wall of ice, louder and higher pitched than those before, this time a small child with brown skin and green eyes, writhing in her flimsy stroller, pointing towards the dimpled oval bootprints I leave behind in the hazel-colored slush, squealing: Papi! Papi! Papi! Black Hair I made her a vow that I always would, so I join two fresh clusters in my clumsy and careful hands as I cradle her slumbering nape. I am submerged in the calculus of it all, as though concentration is where I took my misstep. As though I am not three decades behind in my practice. As though it is just about finding the pattern (too late). I’m too late, I think, or maybe it’s something else: his hands never knew how to fix my sister’s hair. I tend each thick, onyx strand like I’m mending her favorite blanket, as though my calloused digits might coax and shape anything into an ordered grace. I layer another braid into the tidy maze crowning her scalp. I can feel, with each pull and twist, the newly assembled crib watching. Adam Day The Quiet Life You is a pricy practical joke, a missed appointment, termination that didn't take, doctor without depth, military march, intolerant of mystery; a dinner party grope and stock exchange, growing aroused in the shadow of compromise, in the pantry's smell of lessening, of whatever comes along. You'll have him- you can't have anything dripping and no one to see, and should you be feared to share him your shrunk breasted enthusiasm, and shaven gape, like a mouth ajar, an over worn loafer, you'll liptongue and hand him, poor spunk, half-screwed, like moth larva rolling in a rice jar. To make nothing out of nothing but a backbend and take three quarters of an hour over it. No one ever captured the insanity of monologue like you did, vulgarizing anger into irritation and a plaster of panic, grinding fists into your eyes, like our child. So quiet now it scrapes the calm from bones, punctuated with involuntary exonerations, the house in weed, shingles steaming, all fog and submission, a celibate brothel (if nuns carried their duties as you sexed all saints they'd be.) No, no solicitation in a street urinal, no sodomizing the duck on account of its down, no slush of thrushes in the rain gutter, no train of dangers, or snoring next door, eyes unlit, half the sun and twice the rent. My Telemachus "The dog drinking water sounds like a horse trotting," my five-year-old says. Well, look at you, brilliant little oedipal bastard, trying to steal my crown (and he is illegitimate; ask his mother if you can find her) but Patton was too and look what he achieved. "Openango" Openango After Sherman Alexie I had just begun ice-fishing. A walleye taught me how. A fish with a headdress. He called me white man. Man, I'm tired of that racist shit. It's like if I didn't vacation at your ice hole you wouldn't have that casino. And don't look at me like that, lying on your side, a vein of blood skating the black plate of your eye.
