Announcing Season 2 of the Thresholds Podcast

Thresholds is a series of conversations with writers about experiences that completely turned them upside down, disoriented them in their lives, changed them, and changed how and why they wanted to write. Hosted by Jordan Kisner, author of the essay collection, Thin Places, and brought to you by Lit Hub Radio, the first season of the show featured Mira Jacob, Alexander Chee, Wendy S. Walters, Tara Westover, Suleika Jaouad, Carmen Maria Machado, and Leslie Jamison.

In each episode this season, listeners will be treated to interviews with visionary writers, artists, and thinkers about moments of personal, intellectual, creative, or spiritual transition that inspired their work.
