On this week’s episode of our radio show and podcast, The Archive Project, we celebrate the life and work of award-winning author Tracy Kidder.

In this lecture from 2011, Kidder shares the journey of his career as a writer. An extraordinary story in which he reveals his mistakes, uncertainties, and vulnerabilities as much as his successes. This is a must-listen for every aspiring writer and reader who wants deeper insight into a writer’s creative process and to understand how many of the stories that have defined modern journalism were created.

Tune in to OPB on Sunday, May 24, at 7:00 p.m. to hear the episode, revisit later on our website, or subscribe to The Archive Project wherever you get your podcasts.
