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. 9: Nate Marshall","slug":"ep-9-nate-marshall","published_at":"2026-07-01T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/writing-forward-7845810/ep-9-nate-marshall","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/writing-forward-7845810","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/a6e3805da1af60d5fda59051f250233401d99f92b6b45d0cb5af24aea921912e/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzYzZjNjcwYS1lZGQyLTRjMmUtOWJhMS1hY2U0ZjJiNDVlOTIiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmYTliZGQwOS04ZGFlLTRhYTYtYTQ0NS0xNjBhMDU5YTM2NDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2N2JjNzUzMzM1MzRhOWMzZDNiZTYwNDYiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE0NDg4MWI1MWY1NTdhMjJhZWU2ZTgyL2plZmYtb2xvaXppYXMtc3R1ZGlvLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtNy0xX181LTIzLTcubXAzIn0=.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/a6e3805da1af60d5fda59051f250233401d99f92b6b45d0cb5af24aea921912e/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzYzZjNjcwYS1lZGQyLTRjMmUtOWJhMS1hY2U0ZjJiNDVlOTIiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmYTliZGQwOS04ZGFlLTRhYTYtYTQ0NS0xNjBhMDU5YTM2NDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2N2JjNzUzMzM1MzRhOWMzZDNiZTYwNDYiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE0NDg4MWI1MWY1NTdhMjJhZWU2ZTgyL2plZmYtb2xvaXppYXMtc3R1ZGlvLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtNy0xX181LTIzLTcubXAzIn0=.mp3","summary":"Writing Forward welcomes Nate Marshall, author of the acclaimed poetry collections \"Wild Hundreds,\" winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize, and \"Finna,\" praised by Roxane Gay as \"elegantly and precisely crafted\" and \"full of realness about Blackness, masculinity, family, and Chicago.\" In this episode, Nate reflects on growing up in a house full of women, how masculinity became one of the central questions of his work, what it means to build a sense of home in a new place, and why paying close attention has always been at the heart of his writing. Along the way, he talks about Chicago and Madison, fatherhood, Alzheimer's as a \"poetic-ass disease,\" and the stories we inherit — and rewrite — for ourselves. Writing Forward is a conversation show exploring what keeps writers shaped by Wisconsin moving forward, one word at a time. Hosted by Jeff Oloizia. Podcast production by Anya van Wagtendonk.
