U of A Reads: Stories Behind the Stories

This podcast will take you beyond the book jacket and into the creative heart of the University of Alberta’s finest storytellers.

In each episode, we sit down with U of A authors — from celebrated alumni to inspiring faculty and emerging student voices — to explore the passion, process, and personal journeys behind their latest works. From fiction to memoir, poetry to research, discover the experiences, memories, and motivations that shaped the stories on the page.

Because every great book has a backstory — and we’re here to share it.
