Josh included one of my poems in his podcast and that made my day. His reading definitely added something to it.

My heart about exploded to take this all in. I just think the world of you both. I can't believe I get to call you friends, when you are such pillars of inspiration and dedication to craft in my eyes.

Brock, you set the intro perfectly at the beginning and kept us focused on exactly what I have found most compelling about Josh's work as well. And of course, Josh himself, punk and heart in equal measure. Thank you! Beautifully done.

And Josh, you are an absolute treasure. I took in every word you said here and I'm so incredibly grateful that you open up about the perspectives you have on life as a wide-ranging artist of so many tactile kinds. You sink into your originality and have given me courage and excitement to do the same myself. All the while demonstrating what it truly means (and takes) to relish in developing real relationships and community with us. You have a warmth and a gravity that is all your own and makes so many of us feel right at home inside. You are like poets' homebase. :)

I'm so taken by what you said about folding time, bringing the voices of the past into the present. And how the cassette tapes frustrate the impulse to just 'move on already.' It's fucking brilliant, and timely, and hearing you talk about it in this format is such a gift.

I adore you guys. Hope you know it. Thank you for this interview! What a damn treat.
