The biggest mistake you've ever made was assuming Two Dudes only know about music. Not true. We also know about art, culture, food, bicycling, professional wrestling, and literature. Well, this show's about literature. To properly explore this subject, we'll go ahead and choose music as our means.

Here we have for you all a show of poetry readings, anti-poetry reading diatribes, songs about literary figures, maybe some bootlegged audio from Salinger's funeral--whatever we can find. Your job is to relax and enjoy. Keep listening, keep reading, and we'll see you next time.
