Episode 66 - Ansel Appleton

A conversation with writer and slam poet Ansel Appleton, along with a story recorded from Ansel's performance at our two-year anniversary show in June. Among topics that came up are the slam poetry scene in Cambridge and beyond in the late 90s and early 2000s and Ansel's preference to perform only for strangers rather than for friends or family colleagues or heroes.

A conversation with soup-chef/entrepreneur, writer and slam poet Ansel Appleton, along with a story recorded from Ansel’s performance at our two-year anniversary show in June. Among topics that came up are the slam poetry scene in Cambridge and beyond in the late 90s and early 2000s and Ansel’s preference to perform only for strangers rather than for friends or family colleagues or heroes. (Sadly, the soup part hadn’t happened yet when we spoke.)

Below is a photo the notes for his performance that Ansel mentions in our conversation and that he brought on stage with him back in June.
