Welcome to Poets at War, a podcast documenting the brood of writers, where art, theology, philosophy, and fun beckon your ears.Today on the program, General Joshua David Ling holds a late-night war council with Jesse, Carey, and Dante (with Jeff dropping in), recorded February 19th, 2026. What starts as a casual hangout over homemade pancakes quickly spirals through Jim Butcher's magic-crystal airships, the wildest names in baseball history, Georgia and Cajun accents, the GMO gospel of cotton candy grapes, mosquito folklore, and a surprisingly serious debate about whether it's okay to eat a piece of your own leg. Art, theology, philosophy, and fun — plus absolutely zero discipline.Chapters:
