I'm a diehard podcast nerd--been listening since 2004, when a friend showed me how to download the Dawn and Drew Show on my desktop iTunes. For years I've listened to NPR, developed a passion for all things MaxFun, discovered my favorite comedians, heard my favorite writers discuss their work, learned important lessons about how to be an intersectional feminist and activist...this is why it is no small thing to see Play On Words on iTunes. We have a podcast now, thanks to Ryan Alpers' mad skills! We are introducing our first 10-episode season this fall. This is a real thing and it gives me hope.
Find us on Soundcloud and iTunes! Our first episode features an interview with writer and teacher Andrew Christian.
I write.
I doodle.
I'm at work on my first book, a collection of linked short stories that follows a community of expatriates living on the southern coast of Spain.
I care about stuff. Like curing type 1 diabetes. And marriage equality. And rights for immigrants. And public radio. And espanol. And Frank O'Hara and Jennifer Egan and Federico Garcia Lorca and Tony Kushner. You know, cool stuff.
I make postcards that are also stories.
Sometimes I read stories and poems out loud.
Sometimes I go to conferences.
You can find my short stories, essays, poems and flash fictio in a variety of places in print and online. If you Google really hard, you might find the two short radio pieces I produced on a badass NPR affiliate in San Francisco.
This is where you can go to find out who I am.
