    Episode 93: Amy Silverberg
    Jul 15 2025
    Amy Silverberg is a comedian and writer based in Los Angeles. Her stand-up comedy has been featured on Comedy Central, Hulu, NPR, and Amazon Prime. Her short fiction has appeared in Best American Short Stories, The Paris Review, Granta, and The New Yorker. She holds a Ph.D. in Creative Writing from USC, where she now teaches. Prior to publication, Amy’s debut novel First Time, Long Time was hailed by Oprah Daily as “a funny, high-spirited novel…the book humorously describes a lesser-seen side of Los Angeles: the unglamorous neighborhood of Van Nuys, the humiliations of fame, the agony of trying—and failing—to be someone else, and the thrill of discovering yourself along the way.” “Somebody is always going through something,” she writes in the novel, just published by Grand Central Publishing. “Somebody is always reading a book and finding himself there.” Join us for a funny, thoughtful look at the ways Amy’s comedy informs her writing, the ways her writing fuels her comedy, and the many ways she finds herself in her work.

    Episode 92: Carla Sosenko
    Jul 1 2025
    Veteran journalist Carla Sosenko has written for The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, People, Self, Newsweek, and numerous other publications. Her work has also appeared in Time Out New York (where she was editor-in-chief), Entertainment Weekly (where she was executive editor), In Touch (where she was managing editor) and Us Weely (where she is currently executive editor at large). She is also the co-author of A Dirty Guide to a Clean Home: Housekeeping Hacks You Can’t Live Without, written with TikTok star Melissa Dilkes Pateras. In her just-published collection of essays entitled I’ll Look So Hot in a Coffin: And Other Thoughts I Used to Have About My Body, Carla writes with candor and great good cheer about growing up with a rare congenital vascular disorder known as Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome—a disorder that shaped the way she looked out at the world, and the ways the world looked back in turn. “If you are thin, even if you are too thin, life is inherently safer,” she writes. “The world order puts thin people at the top, with the rest of us below struggling for air. Many of us have been gasping for decades.” In her new book—hailed by Harper’s Bazaar prior to publication as “raw, vulnerable, and utterly hilarious—she breathes deep and sounds a clarion call for anyone who has ever been made to feel like an outsider or told they should take up less space.

    Episode 91: John Kasich
    Jun 17 2025
    Heaven Help Us: How Faith Communities Inspire Hope, Strengthen Neighborhoods, and Build the Future—a collection of inspiring profiles of individuals working to make a difference with the help of their faith communities—is podcast host Daniel Paisner’s fifth collaboration with former Ohio governor John Kasich. The collaboration goes back to the very first book the two wrote together—the 2006 New York Times best-seller Stand for Something: The Battle for America’s Soul—as Gov. Kasich was completing his ninth term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Ohio’s 12th district. They would go on to write about the governor’s long-time Bible study group, about his 2016 presidential campaign, and a primer on what it takes to live a life of purpose and meaning, encouraging readers to be the change they wanted to see in this world. In Heaven Help Us, Gov. Kasich continues to explore the themes that have defined his public life, as he shines a powerful light on a group of extraordinary people who are working selflessly to transform their communities—work that is being magnified by their churches, synagogues and mosques. “My goal here is to get readers to think outside themselves for a bit, to think bigger than themselves,” he writes. “To open their hearts to what’s possible instead of what’s impossible.” Learn more about John Kasich: WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebookIt's Up to UsEvery Other MondayTwo PathsCourage Is Contagious Please support the sponsors who support our show: Ritani Jewelers Daniel Paisner's Balloon DogDaniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television PilotHeaven Help Us by John KasichUnforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey JacobellisFilm Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discountLibro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membershipFilm Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef SuttonEveryday Shakespeare podcastA Mighty Blaze podcastThe Writer's Bone Podcast NetworkMisfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discountWizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount
