On this week's show, a conversation Ron Riekki, author of Posttraumatic (a Hoot n Waddle title) and co-editor of the just published anthologies Undocumented: Great Lakes Poets Laureate on Social Justice and The Many Lives of The Evil Dead. Those are just the books he's had published this year. The man never stops writing and working--he's also an actor, screenwriter, he was in two branches of the military, he taught creative writing to inmates, he's been an English professor, he was a stand-up comic... It might be easier to say what he hasn't done. This is an absolutely fascinating conversation recorded in a hotel room in San Francisco.

This is a sort of unique edition of Limited Engagement. Jared got an opportunity to attend this year's Innings Festival as a member of the media. Only problem is no one on the bill was doing interviews (at least no one who responded), so what to do? Well, wing it. This episode is a recap of the two day event broken up by a couple of mini interviews--the first with Jason Woodbury about his work with Zia Records and their pop-up record shop/artist signing tent; the second with Ed Masley about how he covers events such as this for the AZ Republic (as well as a few pointers for a media rookie). Also, there's a little bit of a sad announcement in there that was bound to come up sooner or later, so there's that...
