Our Hosts

Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.


Spencer starts the episode with a grievance against a certain group of people urinating into his breakfast cereal of choice. After that, we have an interesting conversation about lyrical prose. Specifically, what constitutes lyrical prose, how to write it well, and how to realize that you’ve gone beyond lyrical prose into the dirty category of purple prose.
