    Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire (with Nadira Goffe)
    Oct 28 2025
    Nadira Goffe is a very serious journalist. She's a staff culture writer at Slate who does Real Journalism™️ about Serious Subjects™️. But every now and then she does very silly stuff like talk to me about witches and Appalachia and witches in Appalachia. Nadira turned the tables on me in an interview all about the making of my bestselling debut novel, the importance of young adult literature, and the future of Foxfire.

  • What does a City Planner do? with Shari Phippen

    What does a City Planner do? with Shari Phippen
    Aug 19 2025
    In my continuing quest to highlight professions that are overlooked or misunderstood, I'd like to introduce you to Shari Phippen. She has decades of experience as a city planner, which is one of the most important roles in determining where we live, how we live, and what we can do while we live there...but nobody seems to know what they do or how they do it.

    This also serves as the first teaser for my upcoming audiobook, Where Did Everybody Go?, coming out from Simon & Schuster Audio this November.

  • Why do we love superheroes? with Ernie Carothers (BlerdWithoutFear)

    Why do we love superheroes? with Ernie Carothers (BlerdWithoutFear)
    Jul 8 2025
    Superheroes dominate cinema and pop culture, and they have for a while now. Sure, there's been a shift in movie theater attendance post-COVID pandemic, but people still show up for superheroes. I wondered why, so I asked an expert on the subject why he thinks caped crusaders and teams of mutant misfits capture our imagination.

    Find @BlerdWithoutFear over on his YT channel!

  • What's the difference between a content creator and an influencer? with Franchesca Ramsey

    What's the difference between a content creator and an influencer? with Franchesca Ramsey
    Jun 24 2025
    The internet has become a place where we all perform for one another, where authenticity is both something to aspire to and something to be wary of. I sat down with Franchesca "Chescaleigh" Ramsey to discuss the role of the content creator, how it differs from an influencer, and what it means to exist on social media these days.

  • What even is pop culture anymore? with Nadira Goffe

    What even is pop culture anymore? with Nadira Goffe
    Jun 10 2025
    If you are someone who has complained that every new piece of media is a sequel, prequel, remake, reboot, or a studio banking on pre-existing IP (intellectual property) to bring in audiences, this is the episode for you. We are kicking off 2025 with Nadira Goffe, a staff writer at Slate, who helps us contextualize this moment in pop culture as well as looking back at a time when media felt like "hope-ium".
