The Poetry Show, KUSP, Santa Cruz, 12.19.10.
An hour-long radio program, chatting with Dennis Morton about spiders, multiple personalities, bad handwriting, cellos, and, of course, honey.
 

Out of Our Minds, KKUP, Cupertino, 3.23.11.
An hour-long radio program, chatting with J.P. Dancing Bear about when good poets go bad, REM, e.e. cummings, poetry pulled from the headlines, that guy who does voiceovers for all the movie trailers, and (surprise!) bees
