Today, we’re sharing a special conversation from the podcast Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso.

The episode you’re about to hear aired just this month. It’s an entertaining and insightful talk with Percival Everett, who was named the winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.

Together, they cover a range of topics, from his immersive process writing James, to teaching in the digital age, and why he still asks his students to watch Blazing Saddles by Mel Brooks.
