I reached out to Tyler Dempsey of Another Fucking Writing Podcast and Tyler of LoFi Lit. We were moving in such similar circles and I wanted to officially give us a chat space to chum around, support each other, and complain about fucked up shit. The name I gave our chat is Filthy Headphones and Dead Air. We talked, early on, about the overlaps between our podcasts and how there’s room for all of us. Each of us is a brown soda: Dr. Pepper, Coke and root beer (I’m root beer). Particular flavors for particular moods and no one’s gonna turn down a cold brown soda? When it’s consistently been sweet and tangy and effervescent on the tongue! It’s nice to get to know writers but it’s nice to get to know your hosts as well. In the end, you come back for that interplay.
