General Admission Podcast

New to General Admission? Need something to get you hyped up for Season 3? Never fear – we’re revisiting some of the best of General Admission with the ARCHIVES. This mini-episode revisits Don’s conversation with poet, performer and teacher J.W. Basilo. Along with Marc Smith, he’s also one of the hosts of the Uptown Poetry Slam at the Green Mill. The two hash out what slam poetry actually is, why there’s such a huge cultural divide in Chicago slams, and why political material finds its way into the art form.
