Here comes everybody for season two of The Writers Institute, the podcast from the New York State Writers Institute and Lit Hub. In this season, you’ll hear Toni Morrison, Francis Ford Coppola, Seamus Heaney, Lorrie Moore, Ingrid Rojas Contreras, John Updike, Catherine Lacey, Rick Moody, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Becca Rothfeld, Andrew Martin, Mary Gaitskill, and William Kennedy. The Writers Institute is a show about how writers interact with the world off the page, but this time, we’re also hearing about literary adventures that take us beyond ourselves or through ourselves in new ways. This is the trailer, and our five new episodes are rolling out now, each Wednesday.
