About the hosts

Elizabeth Howard has never had boundaries between her life, work, art, and writing. Experience, sense of place, and exploration define the choices she makes. She is the producer and host of the Short Fuse Podcast, engaging individuals in lively and provocative conversations about how the arts can affect social change. She was named the inaugural Madeleine L’Engle Fellow at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and assisted in planning and then moderating “Close Conversations,” attracting leading academics, writers, policy experts, and journalists to discuss race relations, immigration, and climate change. She takes a creative approach to work with artists, writers, and professionals to assist them with connecting to audiences. Her articles have appeared in journals and magazines in the United States and internationally. She is a MacDowell Fellow.

Jesse Kornbluth has published two novels praised by the New York Times, “Married Sex,” and “JFK and Mary Meyer: A Love Story,” and four books of non-fiction. As a magazine journalist, he has been a Contributing Editor at the Times Magazine, New York, and Vanity Fair. On the Internet, he co-founded Bookreporter.com and, in the glory years, was the Editorial Director of AOL. Since 2004, he has edited a cultural concierge site, HeadButler.com.
