The Brick Cave Podcast

A Bill and Patrick Deconstruction of Pop Culture

* Language Warning* Bill desperately tries to find a name for the show as he systematically destroys his favorite childhood television. Patrick, meanwhile, short circuits the Marvel Cinematic Universe with one poem.

This episode is dedicated to the memory, as Bill remembers it, of William Frawley. There is additional audio from this episode available exclusively to our Sapphire and Diamond Dragon BC Book Club members, if you dare.

About Author Bill Campana

Bill Campana is a 1955 model who has outlived his paint job and warranty, and writes poems just to prove it. He has three books of poetry out with Brick Cave Media: Said Beauty to the Blues, The Ragtime of Modern Living and flotsam and gomorrah (parlour tricks and other mysteries). He has a high school diploma but has no idea where the hell it is. Learn more at https://brkcv.com/Campana

About Author Patrick Hare

A performance poet for more than twenty years, Patrick Hare has always redefined the ability of poetry to be a weapon of humor, using a sardonic scalpel in his language and theme choices to un-apologetically reveal the areas of our lives we’d all rather not see.

Patrick has performed nationally, including several National Poetry Slams. Learn more at https://brkcv.com/BCHare

The Debut of Bill Campana and Patrick Hare
