Podcast: Conversations, Interviews, and Audio Reflections
Writing · Books · Teaching · Memory · Literary life
This podcast page gathers appearances, conversations, and audio reflections that move between books, teaching, family history, cultural memory, and the writing life. It is a place for spoken conversation alongside the more essay-centered work elsewhere on the site.
Interviews and conversations
Audio appearances and conversations about books, writing, teaching, family history, and the broader cultural questions that shape literary work.
Writing and teaching in spoken form
Episodes that let the spoken voice carry ideas that also appear in essays and classroom notes, often in a more immediate, conversational register.
Memory, place, and literary identity
Audio work that returns to recurring themes across the site: Southern Colorado, family, history, literary identity, and the long afterlife of stories.
