The Silence Saga Episodes

It's a new season, and Dave and Aaron return from their break with a return to the most talked about topic on the show. That topic being Silence...in that Aaron's previous self wrote 5 different poems about it over several years. The two hosts read through all five previous poems in chronological order before Aaron drops the latest entry into the fray.

Hello Silence our old friend. If we thought Aaron's dramatic takes started in the Wolf Journal, prepare to be surprised/disappointed. Turns out a 5th grade assignment produced around the same level of emo energy and gave us a proto-Silence saga poem. Dave is begging you all to go write your own bad poetry, so he doesn't have to hear any more of Aaron's old stuff. ;) My Bad Poetry Episode 6.13: "Silence & Pain" End Poem from a Real Poet: "If You're Not From the Prairie" by David Bouchard ...

In this weeks episode Dave and Aaron talk a while on a perfect topic for an auditory medium like podcasting... silence.

Then sit with your thoughts and wonder how there could possible to more than 10 minutes of cut material from this episode. Apparently the co-hosts had a lot to say about a...

The longest of our episodes yet... on perhaps a poem that should have reflected its title better. Plus we hear a journal entry that may give us some context??
