  25. Thank you so much for liking my poem The Wholly Babble. That was so fast! I barely had time to post it and here was your ‘like’. I am grateful. I take that as applause coming from an author like yourself.

  29. Many thanks for your very nice words about my blog, Jacke! I agree with you, everybody should check it out 😉
    And I agree with you also about Bologna. It is a great city and I miss it a lot. But luckily, it is my hometown so I can go back there whenever I want. And everybody should check Bologna out too!

  44. Thank you for liking a post over at my blog, commentary optional. I return the like: here’s to the quirky possibilities at your blog! Enjoyed! Will admit, however, to preferring to read at least the highlights from podcasts–when I see something is only offered via video, for instance, when I am surfing, I tend to click on…

    Very much enjoyed Proust as a Graphic Novel–ooh la la!

  49. Hello Jacke – I love your podcast, particularly your episodes on poetry. Have you ever considered doing an episode on Irvine Welsh? He’s one of my favourite authors.
    Please keep up the great work.
