  • Breaking Down Dissolution with Author Nicholas Binge | The Margins Podcast Ep. 39
    Feb 5 2026
    In this episode of The Margins Podcast, we sit down with author Nicholas Binge to talk about how travel, culture, music, and lived experience shape the way he tells stories. We dig into his life as a nomad, the role of food and place in understanding people, and why emotional truth matters more than spectacle. We also get into pacing, memory, relationships, and what it takes to adapt a book for film without losing its heart. From creative process to personal identity, this conversation is about how stories grow out of real life, and why the quiet moments often matter most.Key moments:00:40 – 1:43 | Introduction to Nicholas Binge1:44 – 3:51 | Life as a Nomad4:51 – 5:59 | Bricked Up Book Club Banter6:00 – 13:20 | Musical Influences13:29 – 23:59 | Perfect Day Off and Creative Balance24:00 – 26:59 | Places, Spaces, and Shared Humanity27:00 – 30:59 | Reading Habits and Perspective31:00 – 41:59 | Writing Process, Structure, Memory, and Pacing42:00 – 44:38 | Dissolution: From Book to Film44:39 – 55:30 | Writing Relationships and Creative Voice55:33 – 1:12:59 | Character Discussion and Spoilers1:13:00 – End | Looking Ahead and Future Projects#NicholasBinge #AuthorInterview #BookPodcast #WritingLife #Storytelling #TheMarginsPodcast
