What is Bust the Canon, you ask?

A new episode of Bust the Canon, every fourth Monday at 1pm (Pacific) on XRAY.FM

A show where I talk to writers about writers they love, specifically highlighting authors that are lesser known, under-appreciated, and working outside the prescribed literary canon that many of us were educated about.

Every month, I talk with one writer. We discuss what they’re hard at work on, what’s one writer from the past we should know about, one writer from the future we should get excited about, and one way we might begin to break down the established canon ourselves.
