    Using sound to thrill and scare people is a true art form. In this episode, acclaimed sound designer Jeff Schmidt discusses how sound can elevate and liberate writing, the importance of chasing our creative passions, and his newest project, the audio horror anthology Ominous Thrill.

  • Jaws and Jokes: The Wild World of Alligators with Naturalist Shannon Matzke
    May 14 2024

    Let’s face it--most of us don’t know that much about alligators, and what we think we know (run in a zigzag because alligators are aggressive) is a myth. In this episode, we’re going to do some myth-busting with expert naturalist Shannon Matzke. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this!

  • Character Deep Dive with Dr. Camille Holiner: Exploring Trauma-Bonding, Personal Growth, and Family Dynamics
    May 7 2024

    It’s hard to love a novel if you can’t engage with the characters. Even though they’re fictional, the characters in a book still have personalities, psychologies, motivations, and needs that are worth unpacking. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Camille Holiner discusses trauma-bonding, self-esteem, personal growth, and family dynamics as they relate to the characters in A Cold Night for Alligators!
