Minder om The Other 51
Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully inter ...

Episode 164: A 70-Word Sentence with Dr. Denny Wilkins

Denny Wilkins' story is that of a geology major from Massachusetts turned into a journalism professor at St. Bonaventure.
It’s also the story of a professor who taught a generation of St. Boanventure journalism graduates — Brian included — to omit needless words.
Denny and Brian, now colleagues at the Jandoli School of Communication, bring faculty meeting energy to this week’s episode. Denny discusses the challenges of teaching college students how to write, the importance of curiosity, and how he teaches it. Denny talks about his own journalism experiences, why he views himself as a coach, and what he learned from former St. Bonaventure women’s basketball coach (and current coach at Providence) Jim Crowley about teaching.
Can you make each sentence one word shorter? If so, you’re halfway to a better story.
Yep. He also talks about what Brian was like as a student. I immediately regret this decision.
