Please Pay Attention Please is a radio show and a poetic collaboration hosted by Alicia Watkinson and Celia Easton Koehler. On the radio we read a poem, play a song, read another poem, etc. Often, we have a guest on the show who brings poems from their personal “canon” of poetry. Examples of past guests are local poets Brian Blanchfield, Phillip Schaefer, Melissa Kwasny, Casper Lee & past undergrad UM students. The radio show currently airs on KBGA, 89.9 FM on Fridays from 10:30-11:00 am weekly.

Our radio show archive is public and right here,  including PDFs of poems read on air.  Subscribe to get reminders of upcoming shows + library events !
