  • #38 - "Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness" (Featuring Dr. Deb Miller)
    Nov 26 2025

    Forget the prince and embrace your dreams because guest Dr. Deb Miller and I talk about how we would adapt her book "Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness." We discuss how it was already adapted as a monologue for the International Memoir Writers Association's Memoir Showcase and the possibilities of translating it to a Broadway stage. We also had time to talk about the trailer to the "Moana" live-action remake.

  • #37 - "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" by Edgar Allan Poe (Featuring Kristin Battestella)
    Oct 1 2025

    Let's start off October with the obscure work "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" - the only novel Edgar Allan Poe wrote in his lifetime. Kristin Battestella - co-host of the Women Insession Podcast - and I discuss how the book influenced several authors and how it's a product of its time. We also talk about how it needs the right people to do the novel justice and minimize its flaws.
