Bart Plantenga is the author of the novels Beer Mystic, Radio Activity Kills, and Ocean GroOve; the story collection Wiggling Wishbone; and the novella Spermatagonia: The Isle of Man. His memoirs include Paris Scratch and NY Sin Phoney in Face Flat Minor. He is also the founder of the NYC-based literary collective, the Unbearables, known for its subversive and prankster ethos.
Plantenga’s nonfiction works YODEL-AY-EE-OOOO: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World and Yodel in HiFi, along with the companion CD Rough Guide to Yodel, have led to the persistent—though frequently misunderstood—reputation of being the world’s foremost authority on yodeling.
He produces two podcasts, DigScape and iMMERSE!, and has long helmed the experimental radio show Wreck This Mess. He currently resides in Amsterdam.
