Waylon with Ecosystem-winning Elephant Writer Mark Radcliffe.

Aired -

Waylon talks with writer Mark Radcliffe, who recently published the Ecosystem-winning article, “How I Got Everything I Ever Wanted by Walking Away from Everything I Ever Wanted." on Elephant. They'll dig deeper into Mark's writing.

"My favorite writers aren't up in the proverbial ivory tower, smoking a pipe full of self-congratulation, writing fancy prose that's so dense & enigmatic you don't know what the hell they're saying. My favorite writers write. Hit us in the gut, break our hearts, expand our minds. Fancy words are great if they fit. Simple words are great if they hit. I want to read. I want the title to pull me in, the story to sweep me off my feet, the ending to send my entire life in a new direction. Mark Radcliffe is one such writer." ~ Waylon Lewis
