I was a guest on the Meat for Tea Cast after my essay "Itch Itch Itch" was published in the stellar literary magazine of the same name earlier this year. Now I understand why some of my guests hesitate to post about our episodes. It leaves them in the position of writing to friends, family, and fans saying “Hey everyone here’s a conversation focuse…

Well, it's the end of the year, and I'm exhausted by injustice, and decided to re-edit the conversation into a single, mo…
