Hosted by writer and former New York Times editor Jeff Oloizia, the show explores craft, identity, and the challenges and rewards of building a writing life outside the traditional centers of the literary world. Across fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and journalism, each episode offers an honest look at what it takes to keep going — one word at a time. At its heart, Writing Forward asks a simple question: What if the most vital stories are being written in the places we’re taught to overlook?","last_synced_at":"2026-07-01T22:18:50.649940+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/writing-forward-7845810"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 7: Tamara Saviano","slug":"ep-7-tamara-saviano","published_at":"2026-06-17T10:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/writing-forward-7845810/ep-7-tamara-saviano","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/writing-forward-7845810","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/2bb381641d5c382117295c16189d49f78ae7fc07a9e017d4976c9f96123af3b2/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI2NGM0ZDg5MC0yZGM0LTRkNzItOGYwNC1mNDdmYmFiYTkwMTYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmYTliZGQwOS04ZGFlLTRhYTYtYTQ0NS0xNjBhMDU5YTM2NDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2N2JjNzUzMzM1MzRhOWMzZDNiZTYwNDYiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzMDUwZDI3N2ViYjQ1YzZkMGVlYmI5L2plZmYtb2xvaXppYXMtc3R1ZGlvLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtNi0xNV9fMjEtMjEtNTQubXAzIn0=.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/2bb381641d5c382117295c16189d49f78ae7fc07a9e017d4976c9f96123af3b2/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI2NGM0ZDg5MC0yZGM0LTRkNzItOGYwNC1mNDdmYmFiYTkwMTYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmYTliZGQwOS04ZGFlLTRhYTYtYTQ0NS0xNjBhMDU5YTM2NDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2N2JjNzUzMzM1MzRhOWMzZDNiZTYwNDYiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzMDUwZDI3N2ViYjQ1YzZkMGVlYmI5L2plZmYtb2xvaXppYXMtc3R1ZGlvLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtNi0xNV9fMjEtMjEtNTQubXAzIn0=.mp3","summary":"Writing Forward welcomes Tamara Saviano , cultural historian, Grammy Award-winning music producer, and author of the books \"Poets and Dreamers: My Life in Americana Music,\" \"The Most Beautiful Girl: A True Story of a Dad, a Daughter and the Healing Power of Music,\" and \"Without Getting Killed or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark,\" which won the Belmont Award from the International Country Music Conference.
