The podcast that explores the classic tenets of human storytelling, and why they matter more than ever.

this week on the show

Episode One: Write What You Know

How place inspires, and why living actively in the world matters.

We’re overwhelmed with new distractions every day. This episode is about the oldest writing lesson there is: pay attention. We talk about how place inspires, why noticing is a discipline, and Beth Ann’s Butt Hut.

This show is about how writers stay human when the tools are anything but.
