Show Notes
Join Vicky and Joe as they not so much announce with fanfare but blurt out the podcast name change—and then pay close attention because Vicky’s super-excited about Jarvis Cocker’s new memoir. Which leads on a little side-quest about the difference between memoir and biography, but it’s worth it. Then onwards to the main event: writers you should check out because they’re full of ideas you can steal and adapt—meandering to a close with David Sedaris’s not-so-secret weapon for always having something interesting to write about.
