Episode 143 - Adam Pottle

Born in Kamloops, British Columbia, Adam currently lives in Saskatoon. He was educated at the University of Northern BC (BA, 2006; MA, 2008) and the University of Saskatchewan (PhD, 2016). He was born deaf in both ears, and sensory calibration helped him become a writer by stoking my imagination and lending me a unique relationship with language. He was inspired by Mordecai Richler, John Steinbeck, Toni Morrison, Elie Wiesel, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Albert Camus, Hunter S. Thompson, Richard Van Camp, Brad Fraser, and Margaret Laurence.
