About Taking a Walk (w/ Callie Siskel)
You Shouldn't Let Poets Lie to You
BLAMMO! Amelia and Alexandria are back with Season Two! Shaking off the crust of another hot goblin summer.
Did you miss us? Don't lie.
Our guest for this very special premiere out-and-about episode is Callie Siskel, expert loop-walker and author of Two Minds (Norton 2024).
On our journey we discuss the elegiac mode, the meditative silence of art museums, the difficulty of walking and talking, good gait, snacking every quarter mile, horse idioms, secret staircases, the smell of lust, the etymology of the word "awkward," the Los Angeles River, falling forward but not falling, and an out-and-back versus a loop. Plus, we debunk a pernicious rumor about Gene Siskel.
