This is on Beings Unheard Cut. I'm Christa Tippett. You're listening to my unedited conversation with Sarah Kaye.

She's a spoken word poet and founder of Project V-O-I-C-E, vocal outreach into creative expression.

I spoke with her on April 12, 2012, from the studios of APM in St. Paul, Minnesota.

She was in the studios of Rhode Island Public Radio in Providence, Rhode Island.

This interview is included in our show, Sarah Kaye's Way With Words. Download the MP3 of that produced show at onbeings.org.

Sarah Kaye, thank you.

Hi, Sarah.

Good. Have you probably done ISD and interviews before? Have you? Like this? With headphones?

Oh, okay. Yeah. I actually think it's, I've actually really come to love this wave of having a conversation.

It's strangely intimate because we're, well, first of all, we're kind of, our voices are coming into each other's heads in a way.

You know, it's not like talking on the phone. And also, I appreciate that we only get to work with the human voice,

whereas when you're sitting with someone in person, there are all these other things going on.

But the radio listener doesn't have the benefit of all of that, so there's a challenge in this, which I quite like.

So we'll see how it goes. Cool.

What are we doing? Do you need?

Okay. Would you tell me what you had for breakfast?

What I had for breakfast. Yeah. I just want to get ahead. Sure. I had two eggs over easy and strawberry applesauce.

And then, because I was feeling naughty, I had vanilla ice cream with Milo, which is sort of like oval teen, but it's from Australia.

I just got back from Australia and I brought a can of Milo back with me. And it's pretty much the best thing that ever existed.

So I had some of that too. I don't think I've ever had ice cream for breakfast.

Oh, you haven't lived. And now I know.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's the breakfast of champion.
