I created and host Thresholds, a series of interviews with writers and artists about the messiness, overlap, u-turns, revelations, and friction points from which their best work is made. Sometimes the thresholds are big, like giving birth or finding a new name. Sometimes they’re deceptively mundane, like going to the dentist or eating an unfamiliar mushroom. Our guests are Pulitzer Prize-winners and first-time authors, nonagenarians and teenagers; MacArthur Geniuses and bestsellers and underground icons; reporters, organizers, musicians, critics, poets, and painters. You can find over a hundred conversations with them on the podcast.
Thresholds has existed as a podcast since March 2020. More than a hundred conversations later, we launched the Thresholds Letter, the e-publication arm .
