Episode notes
- The difference between academia and improv is that you can't argue with improv performers and must illuminate them instead.
- To write beautifully and descriptively, one should construct small, descriptive sentences connected by 'ands' rather than disrupted by 'buts'.
- The speaker's transition from academia to writing for the New Yorker was a defining moment in their life.
