S2E6: Ken White - Radical Transformation
Send a textThis week's guest is a longtime friend of ours. Ken White has experienced a radical transformation that can only be attributed to God. As he will tell you in our conversation, he was on the rougher side growing up and in his early adult years. God wasn't a main focus in life and the world tried to consume him. As a jet engine mechanic in the Armed Forces for 16+ years, he was settled in his ways and wasn't looking for change. Then change found him. He encountered God in a way he had never e...

The Write Way to Mother: Rachel Yoder
My first guest for this series is Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch- a novel published last year in 2021. Although it’s categorized as fiction, I would argue it’s more a cross-genre piece that is part auto-fiction, part science-fiction. The protagonist in the book is an artist and stay-at-home mom who turns into a dog (yes, you read it right). This is one of the most bizarre and imaginative books I’ve read in a long time. It’s dark, funny, weird and wild. It’s magical. It’s provocative. It’s an easy read to devour yet a difficult read to...

AWW22 Wild Motherhood - Briohny Doyle and Rachel Yoder
Chaired by Tali Lavi.Rachel Yoder’s Nightbitch is one of the wildest debuts of the year, a feral, often hilarious take on the impact of new motherhood, as a resentful, flailing woman finds herself transforming into a dog. The monstrousness of mothers takes a more sombre form in Briohny Doyle’s Echolalia, in which a young mother’s alienation from her family and the shrinking world she inhabits lead to a psychological disintegration that matches that of the scorching world outside.
