Last night, we recorded two more podcasts with Dan Libman at The Shumway Studio. We also met and introduced Dan’s wife of twenty-plus years, the writer Molly McNett. Those podcasts (episodes 14 and 15) will begin airing at the end of the month of March. I am very excited for you to hear his work and meet Molly.
I am also happy to report that Molly will be coming back to the studio in a few weeks to record her own Guildy Pleasures podcasts!
This week, we launched Episode 13, “Trading Elian”, which is Dan Libman’s travel essay about an educational trip he took in 2000 to Cuba, at the height of the Elian Gonzales custody battle. Do you remember where you were when you first heard about the little boy who was lost (and found) at sea?
It’s a grand story; filled with opulence, misguided passion, and Libman’s trademark tinge of sadness. Per usual, an interview follows with yours truly. Here is a link: Trading Elian by Dan Libman
In other news, it’s Election Tuesday in Illinois. If you are an Illinoisan, I hope you find time to vote and write. This is Illinois, so “Write Early and Write Often”.
Thank you for reading, listening, voting, and/or writing. Connie Kuntz
