We’re grateful that Podcast Review—a Los Angeles Review of Books channel—recently included us on their list of “7 Indie Podcasts to Listen to This Spring.” Shout outs to the review’s author, Alice Florence Orr, who wrote in her review regarding the contexts in which we serve: “Some politicians and news outlets paint these communities with a broad and dark brush. But The Underground Writing Podcast offers a different perspective: writing as a communal act, a way to spark connection and hope . . . the podcast amplifies voices often lost in the noise, proving that the power of storytelling isn’t confined to MFA programs or publishing deals.” A big note of gratitude to Alice, Podcast Review, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. We truly, truly appreciate your support.3. We regularly hear from folks asking how they can be involved with—or help out—Underground Writing. We’re grateful for the interest.

Acerca de The Underground Writing Podcast

The Underground Writing Podcast is an audio channel focusing on student writing. Flowing in and through this river, as it were, are interviews, guests, and organizational updates, as well as two smaller tributaries: Linebreak (a single piece of writing) and Kite (our student writing audio zine).We are a literature-based creative writing program serving migrant, incarcerated, recovery, and other at-need communities in Washington through literacy and personal transformation. We facilitate generative readings of literature spanning the tradition—from ancient texts to those written in our workshops. Honoring the transforming power of the word, we believe that attentive reading leads to attentive writing, and that attentive writing has the power to assist in the restoration of communities, the imagination, and individual lives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
