Challenge Your Thinking with Dr. Linda TuckerWhat Fear Can Teach Us: Karen Thompson WalkerKaren Thompson Walker believes that fear is here to teach us. We often think of fear as something to avoid, but what if we could learn to view fear as a kind of harbinger to creativity and risk? Meaning, fear will almost always be partnered with the two. I’m not talking about things we should be afraid of such as putting ourselves in harm’s way like walking down a dark and dangerous street late at night. I’m talking about something else: the kind of necessary fear we encounter when we try something new or challenge ourselves to be mo...2016-05-2327 min

Otherppl with Brad ListiEpisode 242 — Mary MillerMary Miller is the guest. Her debut novel, The Last Days of California, is available from Liveright.
Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, raves
“Beyond the well-crafted coming-of-age narrative, Miller gets every little detail about the South—from the way the sky greens before a storm to gas stations where Hank Williams Jr.’s 'Family Tradition' blares—just right. But it’s Jess’s earnest, searching voice, as she contemplates her parents, the trip, and their values, that lingers after Miller’s story has finished. In Jess, Miller has created a narrator worthy of comparison with those of contemporaries such as Karen...2014-01-121h 19

Free Forum with Terrence McNallyQ&A: KAREN THOMPSON WALKER - Author, THE AGE OF MIRACLESAired 07/08/12I seldom interview writers of fiction, but the debut novel THE AGE OF MIRACLES got my attention. It's being heavily promoted as one of THE books of the summer. Enough so that I read the first couple of pages and I really like the writing. It's about how one family in Southern California responds to a global crisis, the slowing of the earth, and the lengthening of days and nights. The writer, KAREN THOMPSON WALKER joins me for a delightful interview.http://www.theageofmiraclesbook.com/2012-07-1027 min
