Poems & Whiskey

Michael Chilcutt

Poems & Whiskey is the project of Michael C. It"s a weird and rambly talk show that"s usually pretty funny. Enough that the Spotify powers that be labeled this show "comedy". Now whether that means I"m funny or that I"m a joke, well...In this thing, I talk to all sorts of creative types across all levels of skill and exposure. We sit and chat about what the hell we think we"re doing and have drink (or two).Pull up a chair and join us, friend.Cheers y"all!Updates every other Wednesday or so

Hey you guys! Here I am like a week (?) late and let's just not say how short, hm? I'm fine, mostly. I'm getting some more character development and slogging through plot. Could use a helpful deus ex machina, btw. If anyone out there is listening lol. A little mano a mano makes light work? I'm tired.Anyway! The Hiatus Zone is still a GO. Details in the episode but it boils down to if you wanna play still, hit me up. Here's your obvious obvious link as promised. If you're sending me something, make

Hey y'all.Last week was somethin, huh? Yeah. Me too. 🫀The Hiatus Zone will soft launch next time. In this episode, I needed to share things that helped me find a foothold in the fallout and make something...well just make something, really. I needed to push back. A few dear friends offered what they had to give too. I'm scared but I'm also resourceful, creative, and brave. And so are you. You are not alone.I love you.Friends:KimmieKate: You are Who I Love, Aracelis GirmayK Weber: You'd Sing Too,

Happy Halloween Y'all! Trick or Treat!What is the maddest thing a man can do? No. Not die. It's releasing an unedited podcast episode! Duh. The Horror!!! This special is even more chaotic than usual, if you can imagine. It is 3 hours of pure, undiluted, unedited poetical puddle jumping but I don't think we actually got around to talking about poetry. We are pretty funny. Figures lol I guess the Spotify Genre Sibyls were right about me after all. I do cry at the end, so you have that to look forward

We've got work to do! Make a plan!It is tempting to identify with what we make, but what we produce is not the sum of our parts. We must to allow what galvanizes, to strike and use it for what we will. We are the "imperfect blessings" of creator and creature locked in the same body. Every creative act does something terrible and wonderful and it is up to us to decide what that means.This is the last interview of Season 2 and I could not be more grateful to Addie Tsai for being the perfect person to

Make a plan to vote!--> We've got work to do! <--It comes as no real surprise that the theme of this episode, and indeed the show, is self acceptance. There are as many ways to being an artist, as there are artists. Sure, it sounds trite and maybe it is. But Okay then. Trite things also get to be helpful and true. Funny, that. Anyone who's telling you there is only one way to do the thing, is just scared they're doing it wrong too. When it comes to what moves us, we're the one's who make the

The children must be tested though, or they won't be strong enough to actually break the spell. Which is just a long way of saying, to every time there is a season. Which is just a snotty way of saying, chill, you're fine. This is how it goes. Richard and I talk about our creations and how they earn their way

Surprise! This is sorta kinda, not really, a Third Wednesday with Kurt. I recorded this KV speech from If This Isn't Nice, What Is? (penguin 3rd edition), Chapter 12: How to be Wise Boys and Girls from 1981, directly after the Geeks & Nerds for Harris rally last night. It's a little messy but I think y'all forgive me. Here's all that information I promised on how to be honorable. So get out there and do it! Register to Vote, make a plan, we got work to do!Geeks & Nerds for Harris

Francesca and I dig into the tender, wet, smelly, underbelly of creation and poke at it until it squeals. (Which is how writing is made, children.) You have to have a special sort of courage (or dumbassery) to create anything real for yourself, much less create something real for other people. You have to be willing to puncture...you know what
