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.


Caleb opens the episode with some super exciting publishing news! After that, we discuss speculative poetry, a topic we’re both woefully ignorant about. We talk about the various forms of speculative poetry, how they differ from traditional poetry, and how absolutely awesome genres like sword and sorcery poetry are. For a bonus, we read many examples of these kinds of poetry.

#214 Fancy Book Q&A Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We begin today's episode by discussing two trending and controversial topics in the writing world: writers who don't read and writers who rely on AI to perform the actual writing portion of their work.  After that, we participate in a fun Q&A about books, sent in from our 2nd most loyal listener, Mike!
