“Standup novelist” Heather Woodbury is known for sprawling works that combine the seductions of cable TV serials with the high-wire immediacy of live storytelling. Her audio serial, What Ever, broadcast on public radio was hosted by Ira Glass, who says “I am a superfan.” Filmmaker Richard Linklater likens being engrossed in her works to “living INside a novel.” Her current work is the 12-part serial drama As the Globe Warms, now a podcast.
