    Hogswatch Special 2025
    Dec 25 2025

    It's the P & W Holiday Special!


    There's a small foreword where I jabber some personal lore and propose to the 10 listeners of Hiatus Peaks, y'all know how to find me ;)


    Then, I read from Bagombo Snuff Box, another collection of Uncle Kurt's short stories, a little gem called, "A Present for Big Saint Nick". In which an obnoxious, manipulative, petty blowhard throws his annual hostage situation- er- Christmas party and it's one no one will ever forget.


    I close it out with one of my poems for the end of the year. We made it, babies! We're here.


    May we all receive what we deserve in this season of reckoning.


    Thank you for allowing me into your life, for spending your time with me, for letting me play. I love you. Merry Happy Winter Observations to all.


    Cheers!

    Oct 30 2025

    🎃🎃Happy Halloween Y'all! 🎃🎃


    In my truly horrifying tradition, minimal editing was done to this. Chilling, I know! Elisheva, Kimberly, and I read some tarot then read some poems and stories.


    Stay well, keep safe!


    I read from Scary Stories for Sleep-overs by R.C. Welch and use The Wildwood Tarot

    I don't really like traditional summaries, clearly. lol Coming to the close of s3 is something alright. Joaquin Fernandez and I do the art talk, as per. We've got; art as expression of free will, play as an intentional practice, ease not equating legitimacy, and of course, the death of happily ever after. You know, for fun! So it goes!We are remade when we create and again in witness, doors opening, and opening into endless rooms.Cheers y'all!Joaquin's LinksFrom Joaquin:In May of 2018, my friend Lantz Arroyo and the good people at Radix Media put together a book and they were kind enough to let me help them out.

    Hall of Mirrors by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.


    (This episode is dedicated to Danielle. You like voices? I can give you voices. Enjoy!)


    Foltz and Carney are flatfoots working the dragnet on some missing rich widows and find something far stranger than they bargained for in a suspected multiple homicide.

    and then there's me...sorry bit of a let down after Kurt but hey...


    The bird is a red-winged blackbird and I snagged the call here
