Own It SLC
Recorded in Harvey the Short Bus and inspired by Own IT the live performing arts event in SLC, this podcast is an extension of a visceral experience of synergy. We are the artists, innovators and rebels with a cause. Our goal is to keep listening, questioning and bringing it to the mic. Harvey is a fully operational recording space on wheels. We invite people inside to share their writing, music, thoughts and stories. Our hope is to ignite the spark of art wherever we go. Hosted by SLC poet and recording artist Sarah Kappos, this show is an exploration of how humans be, how they want to become and the role creativity plays in this evolution.

Stories of Isolation: Olivia Dudding Poet Laureate of Helper

“Being a poet laureate is one of the coolest honors of my life. You can basically do whatever you want,” says Olivia Dudding.
In this episode Sarah and Olivia reunite having met years ago at a writing table in Salt Lake; these two poets reflect on the differences between city and small town life. Olivia speaks about the hidden mycelial-like network of rural communities. For her the invitation to think about isolation is coupled with a revelation she’s recently had,“The more we think about a product the more we loose each other from the process.” She is making an effort to go back to the process and to keep our roots to each other close.
Stay until the end for the reading of two poems by Olivia. You can find her at the Helper Arts Festival in August where she will be hosting a storytelling event.
