In today’s episode, we speak to J Min Wang, a playwright and short story writer born in Nanjing, China. They are an alum of the Soho Theatre Writers Lab and the Royal Court Writers Group, and their work has appeared in various publications, including SICK and Outhouse Magazine. In 2025, their play When She is Air was the runner-up of the Woven Voices Prize. J spoke with us about finding a balance between their own needs and that of their characters, how they draw inspiration from other media and the importance of distance in their creative process.
