Spotify for Podcasters
In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Ryder’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”

Marissa Stapley & 'The Lightning Bottles': Complicated Conversations Series

lundi 23 septembre 2024Duration 40:45

In this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Marissa Stapley, the author of New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club pick Lucky, to discuss her new novel, The Lightning Bottles, a story about grunge-era musician Jane Pyre’s journey to find out what really happened to her husband and partner in music, who abruptly disappeared years earlier. We chat with Marissa about the personal and musical inspirations behind this novel (which she calls the “book of her heart”); her exploration of themes around fame, female representation in music, and the complexities of public perception; the significance of art and mystery in storytelling; the impact of mid-career success;  the role of astrology in character development and our shared interest in tarot; and the enduring influence of Khalil Gibran's The Prophet (which she hopes everyone will read again or for the first time!).

Carinn is celebrating and sharing the small, but amazing, moments of her publishing journey with us (blurbs from her fellow authors and idols, oh my!). We are also reading of course!

Emma Noyes & 'Guy's Girl': Complicated Conversations Series

mercredi 25 octobre 2023Duration 39:48

On this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Emma Noyes to discuss her adult debut, Guy's Girl, a fevered-dream of a read about true love, self-love, and growing up. Born from her own struggles with disordered eating and reeling from a breakup, Emma shares how she wrote the book she wished she could read during her own pain and recovery. We discuss her development of her protagonist Ginny and where the lines of fact and fiction blur; what it means to be a “guy's girl” and our relationship to femininity; why she wanted to explore an emotionally unavailable male character; manipulation disguised as love; writing her own happily ever after into existence; and how control and vulnerability don’t necessarily mix.  Guy's Girl is out now!

Part mystery, part ode to female solidarity and strength, What Wild Women Do explores ambition, betrayal, and the wildness that exists in all of us. We chat with Karma about what she learned about herself from creating the women of this novel; how she has come to hold things gently and trust herself; the various interactions of this novel; Karms’a own “wild” and adventurous childhood; her practice of writing letters to her future self (we’re sooo going to do this!); and our shared fascination with crows and inspiration from Rick Rubin!
