Jonathan Evison, the NYT bestselling author and recipient of numerous literary awards, has been called "the most honest white man alive." Read more about Evison here. I feel lucky to be the inaugural guest for the 2026 year of his long-running podcast, "A Fresh Face in Hell," which is billed as "a podcast that challenges its audience to find inspiration and creative renewal in a challenging time." Hopefully the interview below gets within at least shouting distance of that. Thank you, Jonathan!
