Her life sounds magical: successful, creative parents; a good college that she loved attending; and a job at a big magazine that allows her to work remotely from a place she enjoys. I’d hate her if not for her seemingly sweet and humble personality.😅

This podcast is already changing my life. Thank you so much to both of you.

please continue

I have recently noticed Thurstons similarity to turtles. I do hope he is not one of those reptilian shape shifters we all hear so much about now. Apparently, Justin Bieber is one them. We're Cicconi and that's enough! 🎉🎉🎉

Excited for this video! Love her book Reading Like a Writer.

What did Tom have to say about Kurts death?

Great interview and absolutely awesome novel by Rita Bullwinkel - before it was nominated for the Booker Prize. Hooray.

I think the title of this book should be “We Are Too Drunk” but it’d be a bit of a spoiler, eh.

Damn, that was a fun episode. Brad NEEDS to watch Grey Gardens! Also: "the fruity charmer" 🙋🏼‍♂

great interview ☻

Calling this episode The Errors Tuah is a genius pun :D

Nice! I know exactly where he's talking about, those mines in Allihies are stange. You should try interview Claire Louise Bennet Like how you just jumped straight into the interview

I loved her book "Lotus Girl"

Amazingly genuine, intelligent, beautiful conversation. Thank you.

Denial of Death is a fantastic book 📖

How do you make so many of these? I'm unemployed and don't think I could keep up with the reading!

What Ur opinion on survival thriller..Is the movie fall 2022 is whether thriller genre or horror genre..in Wikipedia its say thriller. But i thought since the hero is victim and facing death, this movie is horror plus thriller. What Ur opinion

Thurston looks like dave mustaine with a hair cut

Another great conversation. One suggestion: could you let the author read a bit of the work your`e talking about so we get a taste of the work?

You guys are awesome. Glad you're feeling better Mira!

I find this person more unintelligible than I find President Biden.

Can't hear you. ..............

Incredible interview. I am witnessing two people listening and being authentic. Thank you.

1984 is a bad book? Completely ridiculous

Theroux, the great defender of the downtrodden and the oppressed LOL!!!

Juliet seems so freakin' cool. I wish I was her student-they're lucky folks!

Great interview. All work is autofiction -is interesting thought bomb.

I used to be really good friends with Jose and grew up skating with him in La Verne California until I left Bonita High School. We had our own handshake, “High 5, Self High 5”. Miss that guy

Great conversation. Felt very natural. Definitely visit Ireland! All the West Coast is stunning but I'd say Kerry best but busiest, Mayo quieter and gorgeous. Lots of corners to discover in Dublin especially if like literature

One week, wow Saw this at the library -will double back and grab it

Loved this interview! ❤

Thank you. Just listened to your podcast and feels like you are the first person to so accurately voice how I’m feeling right now. Found myself nodding along. I’m someone who tries to stay positive and just gets on with life but with all the craziness going on right know it’s difficult. Good to know I’m not the only one

I listened to this podcast episode twice. It’s like you are reading my mind! Thank you so much for voicing the same thoughts and feelings I have on this issue.

Another good episode. You guys talk about the most weird and random shit. I love it. Mira: You almost lost me with "weird European shit." I know what you mean, but I was a little miffed. You did win me back with ACAB and "down with America." Abolish prisons now! ✊🏼

Great interview!!! Really enjoy the conversation.

I SAY TO MYSELF THE LEVEL OF BRILLIANCE IS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO COME TO A REALIZATION OF SOMETHING... I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD TRUBY HAS TO WORK TO GET THERE, BUT HE IS BRILLIANT, AND THIS INTERVIEW IS SO DENSE AND BRILLAINT ... I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT.

You missed the little brother, Rob Kardashian

It would be nice to see some interviews with "other" people...

I have such complicated feelings about Justin Torres. And Ocean Vuong, for that matter. I have so much in common with both of them. I want to feel admiration for them. I want to feel a connection with them. But they both seem to be emotionally detached by their intellectualism. Despite their intimate exploration of identity and personal experiences with trauma, they seem to always speak with the pretentiousness of scholars. Perhaps it's a natural technique for introverts. Or maybe a survival technique because of their experiences. The cynical part of me wants to say it's a result of social climbing that is all too common with the gays who have done well for themselves. Then again I haven't seen this in another queer writer who I quite admirer: Édouard Louis. He remains quite humble and down to earth. But that could be that he's a writer who somewhat stays in the real world.

Damn Mira you clocked gay culture, especially older gay men within the culture. I have no notes for you! 😅 Sorry, Brad, but I was chuckling at your shock. Everything Mira said is one percent correct.

What a wonderful interview. I really love Max Porter a lot. I wonder about his upbringing. He seems to give me working class writer vibes, which gives me a lot of solace as a working class writer. Either way he seems like a really kind and humble guy!

Damn this was a good episode. I don't even know where to start. Can you all (Brad and Mira) write a think piece about your own episode? haha

Great video!

I just discovered his solo career after years listening to Sonic Youth and his songs are amazing, "Speak to the Wild" is my new favourite song ever.

Lovely interview and great questions.

Thank you for telling this story. It was timely for me.

Really enjoyed your flashback interview with Bill Clegg. Such an honest individual🙏🏻

Great as always!! 💫 💫
