Typecast: A Show About Writing

Typecast: Shawn Ryan

Typecast is a show about the writing craft, picking the brains of novelists, poets, comedians, musicians, and anyone who puts pen to paper for a living. Think of this show as a wonky Paris Review interview without the reading. Typecast is hosted by Chicago Tribune features writer Kevin Pang.
