The Chills at Will Podcast

by

The Chills at Will Podcast is a celebration of the visceral beauty of literature. This beauty will be examined through close reads of phrases and lines and passages from fiction and nonfiction that thrills the reader, so much so that he wants to read again and again to replicate that thrill. Each episode will focus on a different theme, such as “The Power of Flashback,” “Understatement,” “Cats in the Cradle,” and “Chills at Will: Origin Story.”
