Some people follow the path laid out before them—I prefer to explore what lies beyond it. I’ve spent my life uncovering patterns, finding connections, and asking the questions no one else is asking. The best solutions rarely come from the obvious places, and the most interesting conversations start with a fresh perspective. If you’re here, maybe you’re looking for something different.
The podcast where poetry meets personality
Perfectly Poetic, hosted by Allen, is a podcast that digs into poetry from every angle—classic, modern, obscure, and everything in between. Hosted by Allen Mowery, it’s a show for the curious and the critical, exploring the meaning, context, and cultural weight behind the lines. It’s not about idolizing poets or pretending every poem is profound. It’s about engaging with language, questioning assumptions, and finding unexpected insight in verse—whether it moves you, annoys you, or leaves you wondering why it exists.

A Storyteller at Heart
At the core of everything Allen does is storytelling. Whether capturing a candid moment through photography, writing compelling copy, or crafting an engaging marketing campaign, Allen is drawn to the power of stories to inspire, connect, and bring people together. His childhood fascination with National Geographic taught him to see the world as a canvas of raw, unfiltered moments, and he’s been pursuing that vision ever since.
Allen’s storytelling doesn’t stop at grand adventures or far-off places. He finds just as much inspiration in the hidden micro-cultures of his local area as he does in exploring new people, places, and ideas around the globe.
A Curious Mind
Allen is a self-proclaimed skeptic with a touch of idealism, perfectly encapsulated by George Carlin’s observation: “Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist.” He approaches life with relentless curiosity—whether it’s studying history, practicing the meditative art of fly fishing, or diving into the latest creative project. Allen’s love of discovery drives him to constantly seek knowledge, refine his craft, and explore the world with fresh eyes.
A Touch of Levity
Life isn’t all work for Allen. Known as a “Purveyor of Satire,” he believes humor and a healthy dose of irreverence are essential to keeping things in perspective. Whether he’s sharing witty banter, debating ideas, or making the perfect bowl of Rice Krispies (his signature dish), Allen embraces life with humor and heart.
