In 2023, my friend and the Executive Director of the Mississippi Book Festival, Ellen Rodgers Daniels, asked me to be a guest host for their podcast, Write On, Mississippi! I got to interview one of my heroes, James McBride, my Western North Carolina friend and Cherokee author Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, and also Patrick deWitt, Jamila Minnicks, Tyriek White, and Harrison Scott Key. You can check out those interviews from Season 6 here.
I was lucky they asked me to do it again in 2024, and the first episode of Season 7 with Kate Medley is out now! Kate is an amazing photographer and her book “Thank You Please Come Again” is well worth a look (and read). She’s a Mississippi native, too, which made this conversation even more satisfying. And of course Eudora Welty’s books were right by our side in the library.
