They dive into the creative moments and inspirations that shaped our year.

Listen as they discuss the invaluable role of feedback in writing, the importance of respecting source material, and memorable stories that have captured our imaginations.

Chris shares his admiration for Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and Teal James Glenn's new take on that classic character in, "Not Born of Woman."

You’ll also hear about Chris's venture into crime horror poetry, which was inspired by Sarah Tam's reading on the Chicago World's Fair serial killer. His upcoming collection, "It's Been a Privilege," is set for release in early 2025.

Alex reminisces about revisiting classic films like Lady and the Tramp and reflecting on their cultural impact. He also recounts watching the Netflix series The Penguin and attending the inspiring Broadway show Message in a Bottle, which was set to Sting’s music.
