I was looking for an opportunity to test out an improved livestream setup, and I had a lot of thoughts swirling around my head on mythology, fantasy, and remembering divinity. So I took to the airwaves to read a bunch of poems on-stream, both from myself and other poets, exploring just this.

Here are some of the pieces of my own that were mentioned in the piece:
