Listen "Ep 1: The Road to the Salt Sea with Samuel Kolawole"
Episode Synopsis
On this inaugural episode, I chat with Samuel Kolawole, Assistant Professor of English and African Studies at Pennsylvania State University and author of the forthcoming novel The Road to the Salt Sea.
Listen as we chat about Samuel’s beginnings as a writer, his writing studio for upcoming writers, and his MFA experience. In our extensive discussion about his forthcoming novel, we tried our very best not to give anything away and even spoke some Yoruba!
