Charlotte Readers Podcast: Surabhi Kaushik, Pam Turner and Landis Wade

In today’s episode, we preview what’s coming in Season 4, which starts September 3, 2019 and runs weekly through December 3rd. We also have prose and poetry readings from guests writers Pam Turner and Surabhi Kaushik, and consistent with our season preview tradition, we have a published essay by host, Landis Wade. All the readings explore truths in various forms.

Pam describes herself on Instagram as a “writer, meditator, library nerd, community builder taking one day at a time” and Surabhi describes herself as a “avid reader, nature lover and a compulsive writer, not necessarily in the same order.”
