Episode #177 "St. Jude and Drew and Me"

There he is.

Howdy folks:

Welcome to Michael Perry’s Voice Mail, episode 177. This one’s available to free and paid subscribers alike. Click the player above to listen.

In this episode I reveal why little ol’ agnostic me is a St. Jude fan, why I find poetry in words like supplication, how chance encounters and friendships echo long beyond the moment at hand, and how the simple gift of a journal led to words shared with thousands. And above all, how grateful I am to be allowed this erratic knockabout reflective life. Buncha related photos below.

MISCELLANEOUS SHOW NOTES:

• Yah, sometimes I say “me” where I oughta say, “I.” Sometimes I write how I talk, sometimes I talk how I write.

• The pareidolia research was for The Jesus Cow.

• Here’s a decade-old post from one of those deals Drew and I did together.

• Some of Drew’s back catalog. And on Spotify.

• Drew today.

• The song at the heart of the piece:

Thanks to the whole bunch of you. This episode’s essay is from Million Billion. For all the books and whatnot, please visit the Sneezing Cow store.

See y’down the road,
Mike
