During this live broadcast of Studio A from New York City, host Danielle Smith sits down with writers Stephen Cicirelli and Matthew Di Paoli for a conversation about their fiction writing. Stephen reads from his novel in progress and, along with Matthew, discusses topics such as inspiration, character development, point of view, and the tactical differences between novels and short stories.
Short Story Today
On episode 68 of the Short Story Today podcast, Stephen talks with host Jon DiSavino:
"New Jersey author Stephen Cicirelli has a penchant for philosophy--and it shows up in his stories in surprising ways. But there's nothing academic about them. They vibrate with energy, often weaving sorrow with humor. We read his story 'Quitting,' about an experiment in free will that goes awry."

Here is my interview with @aearhardt from @foxandfriends. We talked about AI and its implications for higher education. Just before going on air, we also had a little time to chat about theology and my research on Soren Kierkegaard! Thanks to everyone @foxnews. All the staff and crew were incredibly gracious. I would happily come back anytime to discuss writing, higher ed, AI, or all of the above.

It's the boot-cut, Beat-poet summer of 2007. The smart phone is not really a thing. People take photos on digital cameras or not at all. I'm 22 years old and starting my MFA, in NYC, in the fall. I live at home, and the Thoreauvian cabin in which I write is an RV parked on the lawn to avoid winterizing fees. Two friends and I pack a Jeep, in New Jersey, and spend a month driving across the country. We cover 7500 miles. Most of our time is spent in parks, sleeping outside, ignoring do-not-enter signs. To save money, I eat Kashi for breakfast and lunch. Before leaving Chicago, we stop in Oak Park, to pay tribute to Hemingway.

I appreciate @theleadcnn letting me sit down with Jake to discuss this really important issue of AI in our schools. Glad I had the time to delve into the logical fallacy I believe society is making with regard to chatbots like ChatGpt. Thanks to all staff and crew @cnn! Before the interview, while getting mic'd up, I thought Jake was ignoring me, but he was cueing up a video on his phone to show me. For April Fools' Day, his daughter prank-called him to tell him she was getting kicked out of school for using AI! Haha, cracked me up.
