SLEERICKETS (Podcast) Appearances

One of my favorite new podcasts—well, newish; I’ve been listening for well over two years—is Matthew Buckley Smith’s SLEERICKETS. Matthew and I have a mutual friend, Jonathan Farmer, which is how I came to learn about the show, and it’s through Jonathan that I wound up talking with MBS about poetry and masculinity (episode 114) and the tangled publication history of Sylvia Plath’s Ariel (episode 162). Both recordings also led to appearance on his secret show, first with “The Manliness of Men, Pt. 2” and then with “Bisexual Polyamorous Finance Bros,” a fitting title, considering I am none of those things. That’s also the episode where we talked mostly about At Length.
