This week host Larry Rosen "sits down" via Zoom with writers and sports aficionados Kim Cross, Johnathan Evison, and Sam Burman to take a deep dive into the intersection of sports and literature. They talk process, inspiration, game plans, and just how sports - ball or no ball, major or minor league - influence and affect their art, craft, lifestyle, and literary pursuits.

They dig into sports writing, the legacy of sports in fiction, nonfiction, and journalism. Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll get a lot of love from Johnny. Kim talks about her competitive water skiing career. Sam gets into the missteps, revisionist history, and myth-building of the Michael Jordan docu-series "The Last Dance."

We wish you all well. Be thoughtful and safe out there. Look for updates on the Fest coming your way soon, and thanks for listening!

This week we're bringing you an original short story written by Storyfort Director, Christian Winn. Read by the author and mixed and edited by Assistant Director, Joe Davidson, this piece is all about the known world dismantling, shifting, and reassembling in a vaguely known yet unfamiliar manner. We thought it might strike a familiar note right now.

We miss our Treefort people and hope you are all safe and well, thoughtful and kind! Take care, and enjoy!

"The Lands East of Here" was originally published in Glimmer Train's Winter 2019 issue, which you can find and order at https://www.glimmertrain.com/pages/gts_single_issues.php.

This week we're bringing you an episode recorded back in late 2019 with our great friends Jessica Evett and Wayne Birt from Radio Boise, our favorite community radio station. Larry Rosen and Christian Winn host and talk about Jess's role as Station Manager, Wayne's as Program Director, how they traversed their way through the landscape of radio and nonprofits to get where they are today.

We dove into defining what community radio is compared to public radio, Radio Boise's long-standing symbiotic relationship with Treefort, semi-obscure rock and jazz bands, and the complexities and dynamics of growth and evolution in the realm of Treefort and our region.

The world was quite a different place a few short months ago, and this episode provides a salve and a measure of nostalgia we hope you enjoy.

Be safe and well and take care out there. We'll see you at the Fest!

Dive into all that Radio Boise, KRBX - 89.9 and 93.5 (downtown Boise) - has to offer at radioboise.org.
