The Writers’ Block Episode 27

from The Writers’ Block Podcast – Office of University Writing · host Phineas Dowling

Phineas and David chat about sports including the Auburn and Alabama losses and the moderate consolation of a Chelsea win against the "evil" Arsenal and Phineas' boy Peyton Manning's win with the Broncos. The gentlemen then return to the realm of creative non-fiction to discuss travel writing as a genre, and highlight David Foster Wallace's "Consider the Lobster" in the Writing Spotlight. Along the road, they also play some New Wave music with a theme of travel that was in no way accidental. [ Note: There's a small break in the audio about 42 minutes in, but just assume that Phineas said something brilliant in that few seconds which is now lost for all time.]
