BACKENCE Unhinged Ep 19: Derrick Brown

EPISODE 19: Derrick Brown Boy howdy do we have a good one for you to sink your teeth into! A cinematic and funny story from the inimitable Derrick Brown. He takes us on a motorcycle ride that wanders through love, cowboys, judging a book by its cover and being changed by finding out he’s resplendently  wrong.  Derrick lives in Los Angeles and is an award-winning poet, storyteller, comic and president of Write Bloody Publishing. His innovative fusion of poetry and comedy earned Paste Magazine's Comedy Album of the Year (2023). The New York Times praises his work as "a rekindling of faith in the weird, hilarious, shocking, beautiful power of words." BACKFENCE Unhinged is a unique and delightful twist on the storytelling podcast where hosts Andrew and Frayn invite a storyteller on to share an unhinged true story. Then comes the second unhinged part – they dig in and ask questions to get into the behind-the-scenes dirt —  finding intersections with some of their own personal anecdotes. This episode was edited and produced by Julia Oppenheimer. With music created by musician and frontman for Lost Lander, Matt Sheehy. Frayn Masters is executive producer. Frayn Masters & Andrew Dickson are co-hosts and co-creators. The show was recorded at XRAY.fm — find them online or 91.1 or 107.1.
