In this episode, we speak with author, playwright, and cultural critic Gwydion Suilebhan about the cheapening of language in the digital age, the cost of political correctness for the marginalized, the joys of co-authorship, and more. Gwydion’s writes on topics ranging from the history of Jewish comedy to the intersection of technology and theatre, solo and in collaboration with his long-time friend, the philosopher Steven Gimbel. He’s been anthologized in *Best American Short Plays* and has received one Individual Artist Fellowship from the Maryland State Arts Council, who also honored him with a Larry Neal Writing Award, two from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and three from the Montgomery County Arts Council. Armed with an MFA in poetry from Johns Hopkins University, he now serves as executive director of the Pen/Faulkner Foundation and as Project Director of the New Play Exchange.
