À propos de cet audio

 The Tolka Podcast invites writers to read and discuss the work they have written for Tolka. Hosts Madeline Arkins and Liam Harrison hear pieces from contributors, ask them about their journey of becoming a writer, and in “Tolka the Town”, hear about their recent cultural highlights and book recommendations. Tolka is a literary journal based in Dublin publishing a diverse range of "formally promiscuous" non-fiction – encouraging writers to test the limits of non-fiction through essays, memoir, and the things that fall in between.Tolka Journal Art
