    Episode 12: Liminal Writing: A Night in Bangkok

    In this episode of Liminal Writing, Ces and Lee spend time together in Bangkok for the first time after several seasons of writing apart in different cities.

    Inspired by the trigger phrase 'night breeze', they reflect on the sensory experiences of a market in Bangkok, their shared history in street theater and activism, and their recent work in leadership development and social justice. They discuss the differences between writing longhand and typing, noting the slower, more reflective pace of writing by hand.

    Join them in exploring how a simple phrase can evoke rich, textured narratives.
