Pop Fiction Women

Carinn & Kate

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.”

Pop Fiction Women - Sarah Crouch & 'Middletide': Debut Discussions
play

06/11/24 • 51 min

On this episode of Debut Discussions we’re chatting with Sarah Crouch about her debut novel, Middletide, a gripping and intensely atmospheric literary thriller about the suspicious death of a beautiful young doctor in a small town and the prime suspect, a reclusive young man who abandoned the community in chase of big city dreams but returned for the first love he left behind.

Sarah shares the challenges of her path to publication and how she and Carinn have personally bonded over it; writing flawed and complex characters; the importance of accurate representation of indigenous culture in fiction; the meta book within a book concept of her novel; how she trusted herself to fight for this title; and how she’s juggling the launch of her debut novel while on submission for her second.

Listen now to Sarah’s story wherever you get your podcasts. Middletide is out now and it’s a Book of the Month and Indie Next Pick -- buy it, read it, and share it (in other words, make a debut author’s dreams come true!).

On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Hannah Brown. You might know Hannah as the star of ABC’s The Bachelorette, or from her Mirrorball trophy win on Dancing With The Stars, or most recently her domination on Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, where she ended up being one of two women who completed the course and outlasted the other sixteen contestants, most of whom were professional athletes. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of the memoir, God Bless This Mess. We chat with Hannah about her debut novel, Mistakes We Never Made, a story about an epic coastal road-trip that gives two lifelong rivals a second chance at love. There's amazing friendship, a road trip to save a wedding with the guy you hate to love, and a woman really working through the non-relationship she has with her father.

We chat with Hannah about her lifelong love of reading and how it influenced her writing journey; the personal inspiration behind the book; her exploration of anxiety, trauma and the journey towards self-discovery and healing; the importance of relatability and her hope that readers can find a piece of themselves in the characters; our shared love of second chance love stories and rivals to lovers; and the importance of strong female friendship.

Mistake We Never Made is out on May 7th - preorder now! Buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler, free chat wherever you get your podcasts!
