Jason welcomes himself for a reading of an OUC-era essay, circa 1994, on Lawrence Sterne's 'Tristram Shandy.' Should he have been allowed to graduate? Choose your own adventure! He now knows how to pronounce 'historiographer,' so there's that. wrtes.buzzsprout.com/1773639/epis...

I'm not exactly sure why—the charming & insightful guests? some algorithmic fiasco? the basic rugged concept of my personality?—but downloads for Writers Read Their Early Sh*t have exploded over the past week. Hello, Tunisia! Hello, Iceland & Spain! I am all parts gratitude.

I didn't realize it until last night, but the most recent episode of Writers Read Their Early Sh* is the 50th installment of the show. That's a lot of early sh*t, a lot of waffle from me, & a lot of very talented, very interesting people. Here's to the next 50. Sláinte!

Listening to Rob Harvilla's fab podcast, 60 Songs That Explain the '90s, & looking forward to his appearance on Writers Read Their Early Shit, coming your way January 20. I may, alternately, be listening to KISS & mentally designing my own KISS make-up. I do that sometimes.

Jason welcomes Corinna Chong for a confab about when we stop regretting the people—& the writers—we used to be, plugging gaps with memories, plagiarizing ABBA, the power of end stops, the superpowers writers need, heart worms, licorice holders, & defacing pristine notebooks.
