Glitterjaw’s Tommy welcomes guest Stik Braxton as the first guest of Friends of Glitterjaw, a place where we invite some of our very best friends for a sit-down conversation about their art—and anything else we want to talk about! The two discuss Stik’s newest book of poetry, Infinite: A Poetic Companion to Samurai Champloo, Stik’s writing process, and of course, the show Samurai Champloo.

Stik is an author and podcaster and a frequent Glitterjaw collaborator—he’s been a guest on Are You My Mother, Gimmicks, Distant Echoes, Lee Carvallo’s Podding Challenge, and Walloping Websnappers. You can find his shows—Together We Anime and Too Tall Boyz—wherever you get your podcasts, and purchase Infinite, Easy Come, Easy Go, or any of his other books at braxtonbooks.com.
