Hello!!!
It’s been a crazy busy few weeks for us. We’ve recorded the first two episodes of the podcast, spoken to our first ever guest (it even more fun than we imagined, we cannot wait to share it with you), and we’ve figured out how to make a trailer (see above).
There’s been the steep learning curve on how to use editing software, looking for jingles (is that the right word, we’ve not chosen one yet) and A LOT of pre-reading for future guests (a lot of fun). At least every third sentence we say is, “OH, we should talk about THAT on the podcast” - whether THAT is the friendships that keep us sane, the ‘interesting’ relationships we have certain other women in our lives, or whether we’re having good sex (deep breath for when we tackle that subject, haha). And ALL the poetry that is guiding us into these conversations - conversations that we hope you might want to join us in having.
Anyway, if you’ve already subscribed THANK YOU. And if you haven’t, COME ON, come play. Subscribing is the way we’ll tell you when the first episode goes live on THURSDAY 1st OCTOBER and when all other episodes land. Plus we’re writers first and foremost, so we do plan to share more via the written ‘page’ - poems that we didn’t have time for during the podcast episodes, other behind the scenes chat etc.
This week in particular (after an IG post we did was flagged as entirely AI content- ermmmmm???) we’ve been musing on what poems make us feel most ALIVE during this crazy new era we’ve entered. An era where artists have their art stolen by Ai, then have to try and prove that the art they are creating ISN’T Ai, by using Ai. Is your head hurting? Ours are.
Anyway, if you have any poems to share with us, please do in the comments. We’ll take all we can get….
Hope you like the trailer.
