Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising conversations with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who have something to say. Each episode explores the stories, tensions, and questions that shape how we live, create, and pay attention. I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime host of Twice 5 Miles Radio. I hold an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and have spent decades teaching and working with writers and performers worldwide. I’m the co-developer of the Imaginative Storm Writing method with Allegra Huston, helping people access authentic voice through writing, speaking, and creative practice. My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer, traces healing through language and attention. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience. At a time when the next decades will demand much of all of us, my hope is that this podcast offers meaningful insight for fellow travelers passing through. Thanks for stopping by.
