Hosted by Gavin Richards and Cali Jantzen, this episode features Joan Leegant reading an excerpt of her story "Wild Animals," followed by a short interview.

The conversation explores the volatile nature of family, Leegant's unique syntax, loyalty to the sentence, the writer as an "unconscious" medium, and the author's advice on discovering one's own process.

"Wild Animals" was first published in NER 44.2 (summer 2023).
