Writing Forward is a weekly podcast featuring candid conversations with writers from and connected to Wisconsin.Hosted by writer and former New York Times editor Jeff Oloizia, the show explores craft, identity, and the challenges and rewards of building a writing life outside the traditional centers of the literary world. Across fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and journalism, each episode offers an honest look at what it takes to keep going — one word at a time.At its heart, Writing Forward asks a simple question: What if the most vital stories are being written in the places we’re taught to overlook?
