Friends, we’ve reached the end. This is the last Junior Mint in the box, the consequential caramel corn pop-pop bop in yr dental work, the final fry in this plastic basket as the credits come up—and oh is this ep saturated with the drippy sugars of its delectable fore-others. To say goodbye we’ve got Julianne Escobedo Shephard, Fariha Róisín, and in a Twister plot twist of cyclonic proportions: we finish off the final episode of the final show with our final gyal producer Alexandra DiPalma. She has done so much for this show, and for other shows I’ve been on, and a bunch you’ve probably heard of but didn’t know she was the magic pin-up. All hands on the great one: I love you Alex thanks so much for everything. Ending of course with a final excerpt from my long poem Junk, the reason for the season, and brought to you each week by Tin House Books.

Wiggly gummy worm what’s up my Junky whatsits! You got thingamabobs? I got plenty. I… want… more? This episode is a bauble if ever I got one—partly a podcast crossover with the clever young fairies from Las Culturistas Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers aaaand one of the sharpest prose writers in the game, Chelsea Hodson! This week it’s all about how Junk feeds our ambition: as a reminder of where we come from, what we pour ourselves into and what feeds us, and what propels our commitment. Followed up with a pyrotechnic spectacle of gassy verse from my long poem Junk. Brought to you as always by Tin House Books.

Sudsy soda salutations my Junky sussers! This week we’ve got a show recorded variously at the alpha and omega of it all, the Tin House Summer Workshop! Our all-star line-up this week consists of Danez Smith, Alexander Chee, and Jenna Wortham talking all about the world building inherent in our Junk. Sometimes we use Junk to orient ourselves to the world around us, fill our world with reflections of us, and bring our world with us wherever we go. Followed up with a particularly saucy excerpt from Junk the long poem. Brought to you as always by Tin House Books.
