Aaron and Dave dive into an old private journal to read poems written in high school. Along the way the two have found themselves joined by some incredibly amazing people, all willing to share some of their own bad poetry. Experience a mix of self-reflection, humor, self-deprecation, great conversations and just maybe a half decent poem!

episode 19: The Prince & Old Photographs (w/Megan McDermott)
"Look at Old Photographs/ Everytime we do it makes us laugh."
Megan brings so many gems to the show, yet the crew only had time to discuss two of them. Partly because they kept getting off topic with clergy stuff, and mainly because these works from a 17 year old Megan have layers. From romantic idealism to jaded pessimism all within the span of a stanza, Dave and Aaron find the rollercoaster of near rhymes and moonlit miracles well worth the ride.
