Never fear, a vaccine is on its way. Baz sits down via Zoom with old friend and Chicago literary mainstay, Billy Tuggle, to talk music, poetry, and what it takes to survive the local arts scene.

Holidays in a pandemic, what a time for sweet, sweet nostalgia. And nothing says nostalgia like a New Kids on the Block fan cruise. Our guest Kaira Williams literally wrote the book on it. She's the author of I'm Fangirling: Snarky Stories and Boyband Memories, available now.

Baz tells a story about learning to let go and then completely forgets the moral. Marty McConnell joins us to talk poetry, perseverance, and tarot.

Election Night is upon us and Basilo is distracting himself by, of course, making a playlist. Afterward, he stops by to visit with old friend and certified badass, Aricka Foreman, about poetry, community, and general shenanigans.

Ol Bazillionaire gives his final thoughts before the election. BONUS: Sneak peek of the new show, "Wokefield!"

Wokefield is produced and engineered by J.W. Basilo for Shame The Devil. Production copyright 2020, Shame The Devil Media.

Big Announcements abound. An old friend stops by the studio to talk about Chicago poetry in the early 21st Century, our lives since surviving it, and the often cringe-worthy parts of publishing our stories.

It's Columbus Day because of course it is. Greg Geffrard calls up via the talking picture box(tm) to talk about his life as an actor, poet, and activist in such an absurd time.

Baz discusses an academic study on politically ideology, and then old friend/writer/performer Emily Rose stops by to class up the place.
