It would help me if they were shorter and better signposted. I would also like to hear more poems. I will definitely continue to listen.
And at some point are you going to explain why “Sleerickets”?

Thanks for the feedback, Joe, and thanks for listening!
I suspect the content--and structure--of the podcast will continue to drift a little as I find my rhythm. The next two episodes are very different from each other--the first is a sort of whimsical miscellany and the second (GarageBand permitting) is a focused three-way conversation about poetry anthologies (one of the guests being a fellow Eratospherean). But I will definitely keep your remarks in mind in the weeks to come.
As for "sleerickets," it's just my younger daughter's corruption of "secrets." She (mis)uses it as a singular noun to refer to any whispered speech, and since I have to record at night when the girls are asleep, the word seemed somehow apt. And I figure the nonsense title makes googling the show a little easier. Thanks for asking!
