Mike DeCapite reads outtakes from Jacket Weather on Maggie Dubris’s totally charming Poets Pandemic Podcast here. With Klezmatic Lisa Gutkin playing songs as fresh as spring.
We also highly recommend the episodes with Elinor Nauen, Sanjay Agnihotri, Mimi Lipson, and Max Blagg, though any episode will provide you with a welcome break from the computer screen or TV and transport you as completely as listening to a radio on a porch.
Maggie recorded Mike DeCapite reading other excerpts from Jacket Weather on February 16, 2020.
