71: Another Cup of Tea—Summer Solstice Hangout

71: Another Cup of Tea—Summer Solstice Hangout


It’s officially summer and that means it’s time for another hangout episode! Gen and Jette chat about summer plans, what they’ve been up to lately, and the reading slump that just won’t end.

As always, we go off on a few tangents as we have a casual chat about books, writing, and everything in between.



Show Notes

Jette’s (virtually) attending the Jackson Hole Writer’s Conference. Thanks to Tiffanie DeBartolo who told us about it in Episode 64!

Do you have an internal monologue? Apparently some people don’t and this is baffling.

In our Toronto wanderings, we’ve recently visited Evergreen Brick Works and Sugar Beach.

We recently made a guest appearance on the Books and Bones Podcast. This Winnipeg-based podcast, with hosts Gin and Geleena, covers book to film adaptations. We had such a fun time discussing Jaws with them! The book episode is out now. Keep an eye out for the film episode to follow! Find Books and Bones on Instagram @booksandbonespodcast and Twitter @booksandbonespod.

For more mind blowing time travel discussions, throw it back to our Chuck Klosterman episode on Eating the Dinosaur.

Be sure to check out Sophia Bush’s podcast Work In Progress.
