Martin Appleby, sporting a dapper, green mohawk, has taken a cache of poems from our A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO for his POETRY & PUNK PODCAST. There’s Michael D. Blum talking about white wine and Fascism, and Walevska Perez-Herrera and Pink Floyd, and there’s Rebecca Schumejda talking about waking in a red car. Freddie De La Cruz teaches us about “drunk Christmas,” and we find Joseph Ridgwell narrating for some poor sap at the gas station in his underwear. William Boyle speaks to getting screwed in Hollywood, and Willy Vlautin talks of the naked guy in his buddy’s pool.

For those who don’t now, Martin is the driving force behind Paper and Ink Zine, and is a tireless supporter of small press goodness, all while still being a terrific writer in his own right. So if you’re looking for a taste of what the audio book will sound like, check out the podcast (and all the other stuff Martin gets up to)!

One for the Road with Joseph Ridgwell and Hosho McCreesh

A tireless curiosity and a hunger for adventure are two things that Joseph Ridgwell’s entire catalog and A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO have in common. Joe was nice enough to not only read a few tracks of the forthcoming drunken audio opus, but to also sit down for a free-form chat about his writing and what it was the set him off on the road to begin with. Along the way, we touch on what to do if you’ve done nothing, how to spend £4,000 in 9 days, headhunters, the Beach of the Dead, getting old, international drug trafficking and staying true to who you are, making mistakes, the eternal question, humanity in a nutshell, the Decline of the West, shitting where you eat, the vastness of America, getting out of dry counties, and my hideous face.
