  • Author Tembi Locke on Podcrushed
    2025/11/03

    Recently, the Podcrushed crew was joined by author and actor Tembi Locke. She takes them from her whirlwind childhood to her life today as a bestselling writer and performer. They talk about the heart behind her memoir From Scratch and her new audiobook Someday, Now, the rituals and traditions that keep us grounded, and why midlife can feel a lot like adolescence (in the best way). It’s a rich conversation on grief, creativity, and finding light through it all.

  • Author Arundhati Roy on Talk Easy
    2025/10/27

    “Sometimes I feel that I’m not going to write again,” says Arundhati Roy, “but then it becomes harder to keep quiet than to write it.” Few writers have bridged the personal and political as powerfully as Arundhati Roy. With her first memoir, fittingly titled Mother Mary Comes to Me, she turns to her turbulent relationship with her late mother, Mary Roy, a pioneering feminist who reshaped Indian law. This incredible conversation with Sam Fragoso on Talk Easy covers the book, and so much more.

  • Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle
    2025/06/16

    Kostya has a truly unique gourmet talent – he experiences vivid aftertastes, which he identifies (with some help from a ghost and a psychic) as tastes that are coming from the dead. Aftertaste, the buzzy debut novel by author Daria Lavelle, is like a mashup of the food-centric magical realism in Like Water For Chocolate and a restaurant memoir like Sweetbitter.

  • The Mind is Burning by Jonathan Hirsch
    2025/05/19

    In 2019, podcast executive Jonathan Hirsch was suddenly thrust into what’s known as the “sandwich generation” – that group of adults simultaneously caring for their children and their parents. And in this compelling new memoir, we learn that in caring for his father, Hirsch not only had the usual set of responsibilities associated with an aging person who is struggling with dementia – he also was forced to confront, for the first time in 20 years, his family’s history and his father’s responsibility for entrenching them with a spiritual cult.
