Mark Armstrong - a podcast by Alison Rosen

What a pleasure to catch up with my old friend, Longreads founder and journalist Mark Armstrong who is now helming the short fiction podcast project Ursa where he works with authors Dawnie Walton and Deesha Philyaw to bring you short fiction stories from underrepresented voices. Mark and I met when we carpooled to a wedding shortly after I moved to New York and were fast friends for a number of years and then lost touch. Our conversation touched on the last time we talked, playing in bands, my sloppy New York years, founding Longreads, what he learned about crowdfunding, leaving New York, digital media, live streaming, various platforms, gen x, parenting, burnout and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.
