Host Charlotte Roberts chats with author and professor Trudy Lewis about Lewis’s short story, "Morado." Set in a fictional seed research institute in Kansas, "Morado" explores what it means to queer both our own bodies and the natural world in order to survive. Featured throughout the episode are three brief excerpts from the story, read by the author.

"Morado" was originally published in NER 45.2 (summer 2024).
