A show to help you give a shit about poetry … or just give a shit.

Diving inside and outside of prison to get to some weird and hard truths At Night I Fly inspires awe through interviews, poetry, field pieces, and a deep array of original music and sound design. Equal parts Ear Hustle, Radiolab, Planet Money, and Ten Things that Scare Me.

Spoon Jackson is a poet and journalist from Barstow CA currently 42 years into a life sentence. In the show we read a poem — maybe you like it — then we dive into the history, context, and themes. At the end we re-read the poem and maybe this time — god damn it — you do like it. 

Spoons radio work has appeared on The Pulse, Reveal, and his own show Uncuffed. He has multiple poetry books and a memoir. Matthew Schneeman is a radio/podcast producer who has been featured on public radio, podcasts, and his own show Your Eulogy.
