Saturday, February 20th: A Celebration of Half Mystic Radio
In drawing Season II of our Radio project to a close, we’re feeling grateful beyond belief for all the support you’ve shown the podcast—& thrilled as wildfire to unveil what’s coming next. This is the final season of Half Mystic Radio. As we wrap up the series, we want to celebrate this magnificent thing we made with you.
If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the podcast—it’s available for free on every major platform, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Soundcloud, Stitcher, & Amazon Music. Each episode features one poet performing their work, set to songs by independent musicians. They interrogate, linger with, & put in conversation & context art by diverse artists in diverse mediums, expanding & redefining narratives of what poetry & music “should” be. Season I was hosted by myself, & Season II by guest host Stephanie Dogfoot. The project was completed, at 16 episodes featuring 32 poets and musicians, in January 2021.
We realise that most things are uncertain right now. A global pandemic has been raging for nearly a year. Governments are shifting; vaccines are distributed; dawn sings into shadow & then back on itself again. But the music remains, always, always. This is what we came for: the wreck, & not the story of the wreck. The thing itself, & not the myth. Half Mystic loves you. See you on the 20th.
