The One With Almedia Ryan
Manage episode 371019636 series 2916501
What's that sound? Oh, just the exciting buzz of our first post-baby episode! We're thrilled to have the charismatic Almedia Ryan, author of 'Those Beneath', in the hot seat. Ali opens up about her transformative journey from southeast Texas to the lush landscapes of Montana, her switch from performance art to writing, and the inspiration behind her dark and romantic debut novel. We even toss in a fun drinking game to keep things lively and unpredictable - as usual!
We're not stopping at unpredictable though, we're taking a nosedive into downright eccentric as we delve into the peculiar interests of Benjamin Franklin. With our resident expert Allie leading the way, we uncover Franklin's fascination with flatulence (yes, you read that right) and his infamous essay, 'Fart Proudly'. If you're looking for a wild ride, buckle up because we've got debates on flat earthers and ranch dressing, and an emotional story about Ali's late aunt's remains.
Finally, we get to the heart of the episode - the creative process behind Ali's riveting book, 'Those Beneath'. Ali opens up about the appeal of Irish mythology in her story, the challenges of blending genres, and how she utilized dialogue to capture relationships. Ali even offers an exclusive reading from the book! To top it off, we present her with the coveted and extremely rare Don't Make a Weird exclusive No-Bell Prize. Don't miss out on this whirlwind of an episode, packed full of laughter, tears, and a whole lot of weirdness! #bookish #booktube #writingcommunity
