Duncan Shields is my first Canadian guest, my tallest friend, and one very funny poet. He’s the kind of guy who has made me laugh in the biggest variety of ways—through direct, verbal hilarity, facial gestures, body language, original memes, text, photography and poetry. More than that, Duncan is kind, friendly and warm. We had this conversation in his home and I forgot to record the first 20 minutes of it. Worse things have happened. Duncan is on Instagram: instagram.com/byduncanshields/ • • • In Duncan’s kitchen and basement office in East Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. • • • New episo ..read more

Carin White is the first person I ever met in my kitchen and had an instant connection. I was immediately smitten with her. She is from San José, but spends most of here time in upstate New York doing what artists do. She has taught so much about love, friendship and how to hug someone safely during a pandemic. I am very, very happy to introduce you to my friend Carin. • • • Recorded in my Kitchen in Downtown San José. • • • New episodes of Oversocial will be available Thursdays to my Patreon subscribers and on Mondays everywhere else. https://www.patreon.com/mightymikemcgee • • • Music by the ..read more

I am delighted to introduce you to my friend Derrick Brown. We met in 2003 and learned very quickly that we could make each other laugh with great ease. Derrick is a performance poet, comedian and the captain of Write Bloody Publishing. I've spent more time on the road performing with Derrick than with anyone else. He's has proven to me to be one of the most honorable dudes I know. Visit writebloody.com and brownpoetry.com to be mesmerized. • • • My cat Xena makes an appearance in this episode.

Rachel McKibbens is my bruja from another brood. We met during my first tour in SoCal poetry circuit in the summer of 2001 and we have been family ever since. One of the most respected and revered performance poets of this century, Rachel is a fighting force on stage and off. We run through so much in this conversation, and it’s no holds barred. Lots of healthy talk about death, Naugles, Pac Man and people.

My friend Jakob Chomicz is one of the people in my life I look to for perspective and wisdom. He’s a fellow coffee shop philosopher and is a beacon within my circle of The Kindest People I Know. It's good that this talk happened at Circle-A Skateboards and Coffee in San José. Thoughtful, mindful and humble beyond comprehension. I am excited for you to meet my friend Jakob. • • • New episodes of Oversocial will be available Thursdays to my Patreon subscribers and on Mondays everywhere else. https://www.patreon.com/mightymikemcgee • • • Music by the stu-ben-dous Ben Henderson / @ohmaigawd.

My very first guest for this podcast is David Perez, poet, writer, filmmaker, musician—and someone I’ve admired and cared about for our entire friendship. I’ve learned so much from our time as homies that I can only repay him in more time. This is to be the first of many conversations with David.

Welcome to Oversocial, my name is Mike McGee and this is an audio introduction to a fraction of the people in my life—family, friends, foes and folks. Folks are the general public, people I have never met or only know by name. Brad Pitt is folks. Robert Guillaume and Betty White were folks, may they rest in peace. So far, most of you listening are folks. Folks could be old friends I haven’t seen in so long that we’re strangers all over again. • • • These are one-on-one conversations with family, friends and foes. Someone once misheard me thinking I said foes when I said folks. They asked if I ..read more
