Welcome back to Talk Fiction, the podcast dedicated to entertainment media’s most overlooked underdogs, fiction writers.
My guest today is Dennard Dayle, a massive writing talent who—in this humble podcaster’s equally humble opinion—spends far too much time succeeding brilliantly under everyone’s radar.
Join us for an engaging exchange around the creation of his first book, Everything Abridged, his experience pitching and landing coveted bylines at The New Yorker, Clarksworld, McSweeney’s, and elsewhere, his penchant for pranks, and his thoughts on the value of higher education. If there’s a recurring theme to be found in this “extra” fun conversation, it might be our collective sanity.
