ONE FAST MOVE OR I’M GONE and DOECHII’S NPR TINY DESK CONCERT: Reviewed!
Are there new listeners out there and if so how would I explain, put across or teach them what an hour of our verses are really about in an arbitrary character limit of 4000 characters?
That’s right. Beat poetry introducing the show notes, the pod, all of it! Christopher Anousis met Jack Kerouac again for the first time in 2 decades (maybe, roughly?) but Jack’s spirit has been hovering over the podcast since its inception. Because whether we’re on the road or not, aren’t we always on the road to *appreciation*? Eh? See what I did there … the one other person who kind of reads these! (Hi Christopher *waving hand emoji* hehehe)
Not only do we have Jack (who passed away in 1969) but we also have Doechii on the podcast today! She has been doing so much press for her mixtape so she couldn’t wrap that up without dropping by ol’ CCCAH HQ!

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher made fun of the notion of a pilgrimage I made to Birmingham to see the original scroll of On The Road in an exhibition! https://www.theguardian.com/books/2008/dec/02/jack-kerouac-road-birmingham I was just thinking about this after we recorded the pod, chuckling to myself, as I enjoyed my daily pilgrimage to the top of Harrow on the Hill and the spot of Byron’s youth: https://allpoetry.com/poem/8510831-Lines-Written-Beneath-An-Elm-In-The-Churchyard-Of-Harrow-On-The-H-by-George-Gordon-Byron
