I don’t really mess with pods too much but I recently worked with Eric Rahill (on Middle-Sized Things by Michael Rees) and ♾️quickly grew to be a huge fan. I decided to check out his podcast on my flight back. The woman next to me on the plane asked me what I was laughing at in my headphones. I told her Jeff Foxworthy, for some reason. On Joy Tactics, Jack Bensinger, Eric Rahill and Nate Varrone sort of riff on topics centered around the concept of “joy”. Kind ass real ass funny ass guys that stay trippin me out.

the writing style of the author is both riveting and realistic - like talking to an old friend, who you feel no sense of shame around. the main character is a poet who can’t shake thinking about death and martyrdom as he grapples with his own life “baggage“ and unpacking. im only 25% into it though it’s so good.

Shameless plug!! Here is an excerpt for a taste of what’s inside:
NIGHT CAP • PG. 8-10
“my eyes opened,
rubbed raw and gritty as I
wiped the night’s tears from
their crusted crib.
these drunkard days are
the worst.
watery and red-eyed, I rose
slowly from my bed - all too
sensitive to light.
I shuttered at the slightest gust of
wind and winced, as
memories from last night
flood my focus. - I laid barren
on the bedsheets, beige all over -
allowing it to bleed into my mind
as I hugged a hollow memory
of a girl that would have been.
I swayed slowly to the rhythm of
sweet sensibility, as it steered me towards sleep's doorstep.
sorrow seeped into my pores, then, consuming every inch of my being. overflown, I spilled out.
like a stream set free, the rushing water became me.
I melted into my billet as refuge from the war inside my brain. until the bugle bellows, 0600 - to
summon me from my sleep sack - to
fight to live another day.
