For this episode, writer Helen Heath and I tried something a bit different. Instead of using an entire book as a starting point for our discussion we looked at a single essay, Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things To Me which you can read here

The conversation was wide-reaching and here are links to some of the other pieces of writing we touched on:

We talk about this article “How to tame your troll,’ really only works if you’re Mary Beard” by Hadley Freeman

This is the interview with Solnit that Helen refers to in our conversation

This is Helen Lehndorf’s blog post Things Organised Neatly on decluttering

Maria McMillan’s essay appears in Sport 43

This is the narrative game Helen talks about

And finally here is a link Helen shared with me which is great further reading about digital storytelling breaking narrative
