A space for slow listening, MELLOW DRAMA is an ever-unfolding radio conversation between writers across time and place. Like eating a pithy orange with a lover friend, we come together to pull language apart, get juice on our fingers, and feed each other. Hosted by shania-mark twain and DJ Oh Boy–just a couple of slow-mo homos who want to arrive with you.
