We’ll start with a clip of Brian answering a question during his performance at City of Asylum back in August of 2021 and then Karla and I will chat a little bit about family and writing. After that, we’ll listen to Brian Broome’s full reading from that same performance. We’ll transition to an interview I just did with Brian, some conversation from us, and finally we’ll get to we’re reading and some thoughts for the road.
