Cloudy Day Art #21 - Hellicane with Steve Shultz aka PodPoet

Podcasting is such a wonderfully smallWorld. Just last week in my interview with Simon from Slam Idol we discussed a poetry podcast that we had not heard from in a while. Listen in to the show to see how this all came together. Here’s this week’s breakdown:
01:08 Slam Idol Podcast voting promo
04:02 Poem “Is This My Country” by Steve Shultz
06:18 Three degrees of separation aka How it all came together
07:25 Steve explains the origins of the “Hellicane” website
10:56 Positive and negative reactions to the site
16:16 How you can submit your Katrina related poetry
20:06 Spreading the word across the world
23:58 Discussions of the creative process
26:22 The beginnings of the PodPoet poetry podcast
31:44 Steve’s poem “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”
33:34 Steve’s poem “Little Fly”

Hey Will, thanks for playing the Slam Idol promo. I’m really looking forward to listening to this interview with Steven – I can hardly wait to sync my iPod!
You’re welcome, Simon.
Always glad to help any way I can.
Let me know what you think of the interview.
I very much enjoyed hearing the PodPoet interview and learning about his Hellicane website. He is an interesting man and early podcast pioneer!
