Aren't I cool and trendy and all that jazz? I am the guest on a podcast! It's a podcast that Northwestern Publishing House started back in 2024 that revolves around conversations with some of the authors whose books they either publish or carry. The intention is to have those authors share insights, discuss faith-related topics, and generally chat about common questions we all have during our lives. I am the first fiction author they've featured, which I am taking as a pretty big compliment (whether they meant it as one or not -- I might be the guinea pig, lol).
You can listen to my episode right here any time you want! I talk about how fiction stories can be more than mere entertainment, but can help us grow in our faith, apply lessons and truths to our own lives, and help adults and young people connect with fun and meaningful conversations.
If you give it a listen, I'd love it if you pop back over here and drop me a comment with your thoughts on the podcast discussion!
How exciting!
ReplyDeleteIvy Miranda, I know, right? I was so chuffed to be asked.
DeleteThat was fantastic. I really loved the whole thing. It was so refreshing to hear such good questions, not the typical writer-interview stuff that gets really old. These questions were quite profound, and you answered so well. I'm not really a podcast person, but this was so well done on all sides.
ReplyDeleteThanks, DKoren! Weren't their questions magnificent? Deep, thought-provoking... I'm really glad they gave them to me ahead of time so I could think them through, because several of them would have been hard to answer thoroughly on the fly.
DeleteI'm not really a podcast person either, but I think I will be listening to more eps of this one because it's very well crafted, and they're only 30 mins or so each. (And I have met a couple of the other people they have had as guests so far, which is neat.)
