Ep 2.10 The Stuff That We Inflict Upon Ourselves

November 26, 2019 Mason Jar

This month, Cece and Anthony are joined by writer, aid worker, and sociologist, Malka Older. The group discuss Malka’s humanitarian work and how it influences her writing (4:45), writing an audio series for the preexisting property Orphan Black (13:30), what it’s like to have a sibling who is also a writer (22:30), and writing short stories versus novels (29:00). In the Pop! section, Anthony and Cece talk the pros and cons of Disney+ (37:00), recap some royal news (42:00), talk about the fake death report of Alice Munro (46:30), and dish on John Legend being named Sexiest Man Alive (49:30). In the Bang! section, Malka rejoins the hosts to share which end-of-the-world scenarios scares them the most (54:30).
