Beverly Hillbillies and competitive figure skating, things I talk about on my podcast Washington Square On-Air
In this clip, Shachi Kulkarni describes how watching the Beverly Hillbillies helped her make sense of her MFA program and begin to write herself as a author. One of my favorite moments of that season. Former competitive figure-skater Shachi Kulkarni chats with Washington Square Review editor Melissa Ford Lucken. Kulkarni describes a personal journey from the ice rink, through a political science undergraduate degree to the American University’s MFA program. An author who writes of heartache and once got a new perspective on creativity from a single episode of The Beverly Hillbillies inspires writers to follow their own path. Hear the full episode here.
