Interview — Micah Bournes

“I know how to write poems and songs that just get applause and make people feel good, but that is the last thing we need right now.”

— Micah Bournes

Making for a historic episode of Humming Fools, Noah and Kyle are joined by Micah Bournes, a poet, rapper, speaker, and most importantly (to us), the original inspiration behind this very podcast! Listen as Micah describes the humorous and poignant reason behind his mother's critique of his art career, how his latest album affected him both positively and negatively, and the origin story behind his legendary Anti-Valentine's Day Open Mics. This is a juicy one, folks—we hope you dig it!
