The event takes place at Craft Local (2413 Montana Ave, Billings, MT) on Friday, August 9.

Performers are chosen based on the material provided in their application and adherence to event's emphasis on spoken word and poetry.

By submitting, you agree that your words are yours alone and not intended to cause harm to others, and that you are responsible for any language that you choose to share. No homophobia, racism, sexism, or fascism tolerated.

Submissions can be up to 8 minutes in length.

May 25, 2019 in Podcast, Interview

Overview

Mario Miner is one cool dude. He makes guitar amps out of ammo cans, grenade canisters & cow skulls, and he makes some rad distortion pedals. And he has a band that kicks ass! Phil and Mario talk about Mario's history growing up near the Fort Belknap Reservation and how that informs the work he does in a DIY mode. They also talk about The Reddmen, the blues, substance abuse, and they mess around with some of Mario's homemade music gear.

WASTE RADIO: Philthy Talk #1 - Drew McMannus of Satsang

April 25, 2019 in Podcast

In the first official episode of Philthy Talk (and the opening of Waste Radio!), Phil has musician, entrepreneur, jiu jitzu student, and conversationalist Drew McMannus over to talk about a bunch of shit, including climate change, The Hussle, discipline, revolution, and Drew's band Satsang. Check out their new record Kulture wherever you get music!

We have renamed our book club feed in the spirit of providing an open platform much like our website, to which people can submit work and “try out” podcast ideas without going thru the rigamarole of setting up their own channel. We are thinking of it as a sort of incubator for eggs like Philthy Talk. If you have an idea for a podcast, send a pilot to admin@waste-division.org! And be on the lookout for more stuff from Waste Radio every Wednesday.

Waste Books Podcast - "Sex at Dawn" by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá

April 19, 2019 in Podcast

Join us this month as we discuss Chris Ryan and Cacilda Jethá nonfiction book about prehistoric human sexuality, Sex at Dawn!

Overview

If you're looking for a comfortable read, you're likely not going to find it here. The authors of this book pull no punches as they undertake a big task: undermining what they call the "standard narrative of human sexuality," which they see as potentially very harmful to humans given how we likely evolved and behaved for hundreds of thousands of years.
