Author and publisher Brad King hosts The Downtown Writers Jam Podcast, an hour-long, one-on-one interview program with some of your favorite authors.

We don’t talk about themes or the writing process. Instead, we have the kind of discussions writers have when are readers aren’t around. We talk about the events that shaped us growing up, current affairs, and why we write about what we do.

Ben H. Winters is the author of the best selling book Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters as well as the The Last Policeman trilogy, and a relatively recent Indianapolis transplant. He sat down with Brad to talk about his utter lack of direction in his early writing career and his daily writing routine that involves no Internet and tons of structure. At the end, he talks about his newest counter-factual novel — currently under construction — that explores an America where the Civil War never happened, and slavery was never abolished.
