Episodes
Welcome to Celebrate Creativity - previously celebrate poe - this is episode 401 - From Poe to AI, Part Two - In this podcast episode, I wanna be getting away from Poe for now and delving more into AI. And now when I talk about AI or AI bots, just think about websites that use AI can you can ask a question - more about that later.
Now, opening a play on Broadway certainly is a demanding undertaking. And I want to star...
Welcome to Celebrate Creativity - formerly Celebrate Poe. This is episode 400 - From Poe to AI, Part One - and I am especially excited at the new possibilities that this new direction allows. Let me explain:
A few days ago, I wrote a short note to my podcast host, buzz sprout, not really knowing what to expect - I wrote - I do a podcast called Celebrate Poe that has had 398 episodes, in 100 countries and te...
Hello - this is George Bartley - just wanted to let you know that starting with Episode 400, the name of this podcast will be changed from Celebrate Poe to Celebrate Creativity - this way, this podcast can really delve more into 19th century writers, as well as human creativity, and the use of AI in literary and historical research - a lot more fun than it might appear at first! So don’t miss episode 400 of Celebrat...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - This is episode 398 - Leaves of Music, Part Two
Well heIlo, Walt
Greetings, George.
Now In the previous episode, I began a conversation with Mr. Walter Whitman specifically about opera.
Well Mr. - I mean Walt - What would you say was the role of music in general in your works?
Music in general was a central metaphor in my life and work, both as a ...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 397- Leaves of Music - Part One
Before getting into Whitman’s literary output in earnest, I would like to have at least two episodes about Walt Whitman, and what is often seen as a controversial and sometimes even unfamiliar art form - Opera.
First I'd like to begin, with a recent incident that has stayed in my mind since it occurred. A kind friend - who I wil...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe for episode 396 Finding a Home, Part Two.
This will be the final episode before the Fourth of July - a day when we celebrate the birth of this country and hopefully are especially mindful of democracy and it's foundations. So out of necessity, this episode will be a few minutes longer to a deal with such areas ranging from at Edgar Allan Poe bohemian lifestyle, as well as anothe...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - episode 395 - Finding a Home, Part One
Welcome back Walt. That's hard for me to get used to. I'd rather call you Mr. Whitman out of respect, but if you prefer the familiar Walt understand.
Thank you George. Remember that even my family even changed my name from Walter to Walt.
Then the name Walt it is. First let me ask about your writing - what style do y...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - where - and who knows - maybe next month is also about Walt Whitman. This is episode 394 - Simplicity.
In the past few episodes, this podcast has dealt with some very complex issues such as slavery, but in this episode I would like to talk with Mr. Whitman about something that was central to his upbringing, and that quality was simplicity.
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creati...
Welcome to Celebrate Whitman. My name is George Bartley. This is episode 393 - Schoolteaching Years
When we left Walt in the previous episode, it seemed that his future career seemed set in the newspaper and printing trades - he saw the ability to print text that brought about images and emotions in the minds of other people to be almost magical. This was finally a vocation that he wanted to pursue.
Welcome to Celebrate Whitman. My name is George Bartley, and this episode 392 I Sing The Body Electric
In the previous episode, Celebrate Whitman dealt with the artist’s three months in New Orleans. I had planned to talk with Mr. Whitman about his perceptions of the slave markets there, but it turned our to be more than enough for an episode all itself. So in this episode, I would like to talk with the gh...

Greetings,
Hello, Mr. Whitman.
As a Youth, you worked in the printing industry in New York at the Eagle - a connection that lasted throughout 1847. But, as I understand it, you made an extremely memorable shift. Could you tell us about it in your own words?
Certainly, - Now re...

Ghost sound
Hello, Mr. Whitman.
Greetings, George.
Mr. Whitman - I mean Walt - we have been talking about your youth. And I understand that you were largely self-taught in many respects. It seems that you greatly enjoyed reading Shakespeare and the King James Version of the Bi...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - My name is George Bartley, and this is episode 388 - Celebrating Whitman
Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman are, arguably, the greatest writers of the 19th century. So last year, I decided to start a new podcast about Walt Whitman called celebrate whitman, as well as continuing celebrate Poe. Here is a 30 second promo for that new "Celebrate Whitman" podcast:

Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 386 - What Did Whitman Sound Like, 1
In previous years, I have always done episodes about Walt Whitman simply by talking about his life. I did not use the format of me talking in the first person, and asking questions from Walt Whitman because I simply didn't know where to start regarding the topic of what did Walt Whitman sound like. There is a controversial recording...
Welcome to celebrate Poe - episode 387 - what did Whitman sound like part two - in the previous episode, my big concern was coming up with a voice for the imaginary ghost of Walt Whitman that sounded definitely distinct from my natural voice as George, as well as embodying the communication styles of Walt Whitman. And by the end of this episode, I hope you Will agree that I came up for a valid voice to represent the ...
They took each other's hands. Each gave way to the impulse of his manly love, rarer, alas! but as tender and true as the love of woman, and they drew nearer and kissed each other.
These words are from what is generally agreed to be America’s first gay novel. Stick with this podcast as we delve into the 1870 novel Joseph and His Friend, and this is Episode 385 - America’s First Gay Novel.
Thank you f...
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 384 Drake the Rake.
After devoting an episode to Fitz Green Halleck, I thought I would devote an episode to - well, I don’t think lover is exactly the right word - but the person who was an extremely close friend of Fitz Green Halleck.
And we have the ghost of Joseph Rodham Drake right here.

Hello I am Mr. Bartley. And you may call me G...

Glad you're there Mr. Poe. You know in the previous episode we discussed the Raven.
