Fall 2015

Welcome to the fourth year of syndication for melodically challenged! We are a weekly one-hour radio show that features contemporary, traditional and avant-garde poetry as well as alternative music. We are written and produced by graduate, undergraduate and graduated college students from Georgia State University and we are sponsored by their English Department. Although we are syndicated by college radio stations, we have been downloaded and played by Public Radio stations across the country off of PRX. Our mission is to make the public aware of the great contemporary poetry being written today, to honor traditional and timeless poetry, and to introduce new and exciting forms of poetry. We play poetry audio by poets who have published books and who have been recognized by important poetry archives such as the Academy of American Poets and Fishouse Poems. We also play classic poetry read by contemporary poets and performers thanks to the generosity of Naxos Audio, who donated an archive of beautifully produced work. Every week we compile an hour of poetry and music around a theme. Here are the shows we have lined up for the fall:
The week of:
September 6: Goin' Fishin';
September 13: The Tim Seibles Show;
Sept. 20: Day by Day;
Sept. 27: Calling in Sick;
Oct. 4: Bad Luck, Good Luck, and Dumb Luck;
Oct 11: Not so Mellow Yellow;
