This week I’m joined by Stephen Osborne, author of The Coincidence Problem: Selected Dispatches 1999-2022. We talk about Stephen’s involvement in the launch of Geist magazine, what makes a good dispatch, and why the format is good for storytelling. We also discuss coincidences, how to write about them, and what makes them so entertaining.
