    Reminder: Last Chance for the Podcast Open Mic!

    There is just one week left to submit some food haiku for the community open mic! This is the only open mic of season 2, so don’t wait around for next time. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting until 2024! Read on for full submission details.

    First, a reminder that if you run into any issues submitting your work, please email me at the address below. I’m happy to help!

    Due to changes in the Spotify for Podcasters interface, there are now two options for sending your work:

    1. Record your haiku and email the file to me at allyson@allysonwhipple.com. You can use your voice memo app and attach it to an email. It’s the simplest option this season.
    2. Send a voice message through Spotify (requires a free Spotify for Podcasters account): ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/culinarysaijiki/message⁠⁠⁠

    You only need to choose one of the above options.

    New Deadline: Monday, August 28th at 11:59 pm CST.

    Want to be part of Season 2?

    Season 2 of The Culinary Saijiki launches on March 20th. In addition to three community blog posts and three open mic episodes, I have a list of fun topics related to classical haiku. And there’s plenty of opportunity for fellow haijin to get involved.

    First, I am ready to start recording podcast guests for the new season. If you are interested in talking about classical haiku and how it relates to food, fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/7JP69qWfFf52ZfE37. Not sure what you want to discuss, but still want to be on the podcast? Fill it out anyway! I have some options for you to pick from.

    Second, I would like to welcome guest bloggers for season two. If you would like to write a guest post related to the season two focus, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/smjAHvqdS3Tz38KYA. I can’t wait to see your ideas!

    And for those of you who are wondering . . . Yes, you can write a guest post and be on the podcast!

    I look forward to hearing from you and sharing your ideas as part of this project!

  • Podcast community open mic on 8/30

    Podcast community open mic on 8/30

    When planning this project, I decided that I would publish posts and podcast episodes on Tuesdays. Since there’s a fifth Tuesday in August, that means an extra week for content. When there was a bonus Tuesday back in May, I did a blog post in which I published community submissions around a theme. For August, I want to do a bonus podcast, again featuring community recordings.

    To participate in the open mic, click the link to my Anchor voicemail box: https://anchor.fm/culinarysaijiki/message. Record your haiku according to the guidelines below. If you run into any trouble, please contact me! I want to help you record your haiku and be part of the episode. The submission deadline is Saturday, August 28th at 11:59 pm CST.

    Guidelines:

    • Each poet is limited to two haiku
    • Before reading your haiku, please say your name or pen name and, if comfortable, where you’re writing from
    • Please read each haiku twice
    • Haiku should mention food, and connect to the transitional aspect of seasons, with an emphasis on autumn
    • Submissions that do not follow these guidelines will be disqualified
