Having Ralf Jean-Pierre aka PRECIOUS GORGEOUS on today was great. He's a very talented Actor, Rapper-Songwriter, Comedian, Podcaster, + Professor. He is a great Radio Free Brooklyn Host as well—his completely original improv show, No Suggestions is HILARIOUS. LISTEN HERE I know from listening to this episode where he says he hasn't been in a relationship for three years and he's getting ready to be in one, so I thought this was something we could work on. Ralf generously shares why the realtionship was great, how he was taken by surprise when it ended and all the hard work and changes and BIG GROWTH he's gone through as a result. I felt super optimistic about him by the end—I hope he did too!

Chris Carr is a multi-faceted conceptual artist who has many talents, and wears many hats. He co-founded Brooklyn Wildlife with Keith Lay www.facebook.com/brooklynwildlife and throws a huge summer festival every year, which attracts musicians and fans from all over the world. He also co-runs the Greenpoint Brooklyn arts space and zine, Gamba Forest and Gamba Zine. He is a photographer, an emcee, producer, musician and many other things that I could list, but the point is, he is an amazing, multifaceted creative force. He is a very important voice in Brooklyn, and I believe the world should here his voice too.

Episode date, April 6th, 2017: I went to GAMBA Forest, a multi-purpose space that serves as both a performance and art venue, located at 231 Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's run by Melissa Hunter-Gurney and Chris Carr, who are co-founders of the literary publication, GAMBAZine. They recently worked with literary nonprofit Nomadic Press to host a poetry and music showcase at GAMBA Forest, titled "Texts 2 Tascha." The event's name and the night's lineup was curated by poet Dallas Athent, to honor the birthday of her friend, the artist Natascha Young, who was visiting Brooklyn from her home in England -- where she oversees the Venus A Day project, in which she carves the ancient female form, known as "the venus", from one of a variety of materials over the course of a single day, as part of a larger series, which she then chronicles on Instagram. I recorded the event, which included the following performers: Joanna Valente reading four poems: -- The Ones You Left Behind Are Still With You -- The Night Is Dark And Full Of Terrors -- Son -- Your Only Son Is Dead Craig Kite reading two poems: -- Fuck, We're All Going To Die -- The Algorithm Hates Me Stephanie Valente reading three poems: --Lake -- It Happened To Me, I Kissed A Gravedigger -- Married To The Mob Chris Carr reading three poems. Melissa Hunter-Gurney reading one poem: -- We Still Wear Fucking Fur Dallas Athent reading four selections from her new book of poetry Theia Mania: -- Page 21. -- Page 27. -- Page 33. -- Pages 58 & 59. La Julietissima singing four songs: -- Cuando vuelva a tu lado (or, "When I Return to Your Side"). -- Angelitos Negros (or, "Black Angels"). -- Besame Mucho (or, "Kiss me a lot"). -- La Llorona (or, "The Weeping Woman").

Chris is the quintessential Brooklyn indie artist.
