Show Notes

Author and philosophy professor Richard Polt believes in the typewriter, its beauty, its mechanical genius, and its romantic image of a creative life. His book The Typewriter Revolution is an ode to a movement that returns us to the machine on which so many great words of literature and song have been formed. He speaks with Writer Shed Podcast host David W. Berner about why the typewriter remains a symbol of creativity and a tool of the imagination.
