S4E9: The Written Word 3.0

In this returning episode of The Written Word, the co-hosts revisit a familiar and much-loved format—this time in conversation with Dr Natalie Whiting. Having explored the power of the written word together before, they now welcome Natalie, a palliative physician, to share some of her own writing and reflections from the edges of lived experience.

Together, they explore how poetry and lyrics can speak where ordinary language falters. When life becomes too complex or tender to explain, the written word can gesture toward the ineffable—offering resonance rather than resolution. This episode invites listeners to pause, listen, and consider how words can hold what cannot be neatly spoken.
