Thinking Together with Alex Chambers

Podcaster, poet, and educator Alex Chambers and Jennifer talk about—well, a lot of stuff. We start with "Inner States," Alex's radio show on WFIU from Bloomington, Indiana and chat about people's misconceptions about the Midwest and the Fly-Over states. We talk about how people and sounds form our impressions about a place, sometimes correctly and sometimes incorrectly. Jennifer whines about bad training programs, and Alex offers some advice about good teaching. He contrasts poetry and podcasting and what he likes about each medium. He also reads a great poem about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! A wonderful episode about learning and understanding.  Alex's Show "Inner States" https://www.npr.org/podcasts/1071403082/w-f-i-u-inner-states Alex's podcast "How to Survive the Future" https://indianahumanities.org/future/ Alex's book of poetry, "Binding: A Preparation" https://www.ledgemulepress.org/releases/binding-a-preparation-by-alex-chambers Thoughts?
