My Bad Poetry
Aaron and Dave dive into an old private journal to read poems written in high school. Along the way the two have found themselves joined by some incredibly amazing people, all willing to share some of their own bad poetry. Experience a mix of self-reflection, humor, self-deprecation, great conversations and just maybe a half decent poem!

The Green Machine & The Disease (w/ Michael VanCalbergh)

The Green Machine & The Disease (w/ Michael VanCalbergh)

From a concrete poem that might have benefited from it's own Hulk Smash to a emo-laced exploration of that thing called "Love," Michael VanCalbergh's high school poems live up to this show's title. Dave and Aaron find another fast friend with this week's guest as Michael brings the perfect energy to a rare evening recording. Be warned however the final poem hits hard as it carefully explores the loss of a parent through a unique lens. Note: When discussing the End Poem Aaron references a song that he thought was sung by Lewis Capaldi when in fact it's a song by Dean Lewis.
