This is soapbox therapy where we unearth our creative process with the intention of revealing the truths that underlie our own empowerment with poetry cohosts and conversations with community members.

Delulah

BECCA HERRIES
Delulah is a parody of Delilah, the classic radio song dedication program. Delulah has no business giving advice, but that would never stop her from her calling, which is TAKING CALLS on the air! Listeners can call in about heartbreak, professional or personal struggles and anything that is on their mind, and she will offer well-meaning advice that is a bit... delusional. After hearing callers' stories, Delulah will play a song that has almost nothing to do with their situation. . And it will pr ... (04:00 PM - 05:00 PM ET)

Disquiet Radio
with
LEONOR GRAVE
When Fernando Pessoa died in Lisbon in 1935, he had four published books to his name. More interesting is maybe what he left behind: a large trunk containing 25,000 unpublished pages under dozens of pen names (or, in Pessoa-speak, "heterónimos"). These pages would form the basis of many of his posthumously published works, including the sprawling, "factless autobiography" from which this show takes its name: The Book of Disquiet.
In this personal reading project made public, host Leonor Gr ... (06:00 PM - 07:00 PM ET)
Song-in-Cheek
with
SAM IVES
Want to be in on the joke? Tune into Song-in-Cheek. From the wackiest and most overt parodies to the subtlest of genre critiques, this is a show that takes being unserious very seriously. We want to make you think -- but maybe not too hard. Just a little bit. "Did I just hear that??" Yes, yes you did. Sarcasm, irony, and absurdism are the name of the game on Song-in-Cheek. (07:00 PM - 08:00 PM ET)
