Dr. Andy has hosted conversations with creative types for 25 years, now featuring novelist Ethan Gallogly and poet Connie Post.

This episode of Dr. Andy's Poetry and Technology Hour features interviews with author Ethan Gallogly and poet Connie Post. Host Dr. Andy, who has hosted this campus radio program for 25 years, conducts the conversations from the KDVS studio at UC Davis. The show is structured in two distinct segments with a final segment of poetic audio. The first guest is Ethan Gallogly, a retired professor and novelist promoting his first book, *The Trail*. Gallogly's novel uses fictional characters to explore one of California's most famous trails. He is scheduled to read from the book at the Avid Reader bookstore in Davis on March 6th. The second guest is Connie Post, the Poet Laureate Emerita of Livermore and a longtime friend of the program. Post has authored several full-length poetry collections, including *Between Twilight*. Her book *Between Twilight* was a finalist for both the 2023 Best Book Awards and the International Book Awards. The final ten minutes of the episode are dedicated to playing recorded poetic audio. The episode provides a platform for Gallogly to discuss his creative process in blending fiction with California's natural history. Connie Post's segment offers insight into the recognition her recent work has received from literary awards. Dr. Andy emphasizes the local community connections, noting both guests' ties to Northern California cities. The host's long tenure of 25 years broadcasting from a basement studio underscores the show's enduring, grassroots nature. The tone is conversational and community-focused, highlighting local arts and upcoming events. The style is informal and interview-based, characteristic of a community radio format. Listeners interested in Northern California authors, poetry awards, and grassroots literary culture would enjoy this episode. Those seeking highly produced narratives or debates on technology might find the content less aligned with their interests.
