Description

In this episode of Letters and Numbers, we’re starting a new topic: writing and genre. The actual meat of what you’ll find inside a book. And we're going to begin with something you’re increasingly likely to find when you open a book: a trigger warning.

Don’t worry, this podcast episode itself requires no trigger warning. Instead, we'll take a look at trigger warnings from an evidence-based perspective, and open up a discussion about how we can or should use them as readers and writers.

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
