My first. (He talks about) the infinite differences between this experience and all others I’ve known. The book details one profound night shortly after getting a book deal for BIRD BOX, in which all major life backdrops were present, an unplanned council of huge thoughts/feelings. Woke up the next day and told Allison I could fill a whole book with what we’d experienced the night before, and now ten years later… I have." —————————— ⚡️ A few quotes from listeners: 😄 "You know how we have comfort foods, like mac and cheese or tater tots? You guys are my comfort podcast." -- John Coyne, artist 😄 "I am deeply, deeply grateful for this group and the guests you have.  When I listen/watch, I feel like after a lifetime of being a square peg in a round world, I've finally found my peer group. Thank you, thank you, thank you." -- Sandy Hale 😄 "I’ve had a pretty bad bout of depression this week and took half the week off of work and listening to some episodes of you all is helping a lot to occupy the mind. Too much information obviously, I know, but I appreciate all you do!!" - Jason 😄 "This podcast helped get me through lockdown. Love it!" - Jennifer Carstens 😄 "I usually try to catch your show Sunday afternoons on YouTube. I've come to look at you, Rick, Pete, Matt and others as buddies." - Ed Kinter  😄 "Listening to the Michael Shea episode. I have one of his books, and I want to get everything now. This is exactly why the eZine is so valuable to the community, for people like me who maybe SHOULD be reading a certain writer, but haven’t taken the plunge yet." - Robert Ottone 😄 "I love these people. It's honestly like hanging out with a close group of friends." -- a YouTube viewer 😴 "I like to listen to this show when I'm having trouble sleeping. Four minutes of Mike Davis droning on and I'm out like a light." -- Kelly Young 😄 —————————— ⚡️Join my Patreon for patreon-only episodes and other benefits!
