chiasmus podcast #01

Today we announce the birth of our newest enfant terrible, a monthly podcast that we hope will pollute The Internets with just the right balance of piss and vinegar. We also hope you are able to carve out some time from your busy schedules to pay us some attention by downloading and giving our new baby a listen; surely you know how attention-starved we are.

This first episode was recorded on 18 July 2007, deep in the bowels of Milwaukie, OR. Here you’ll make out the voices of Lidia Yuknavitch, Andy Mingo and Trevor Dodge as they careen through a free-form discussion while snarfing down Ukranian wafer cookies and swilling more than their fair shares of New Deal vodka.
