Today is a special episode. Marcus & Kim sit down with their cohost and author of the new novel "Songs of Lost Things: Sonata for the Sun" Mimi, aka Monica McCollough.
We have a spoiler-free portion of the discussion, where we talk general inspiration and the book's creation process. Then, around the 27:00 mark, the panel talks with two of the ARC Readers who get into the details in the spoiler section. They discuss the overarching themes, plot points, specific characters, and their significance.
Check Monica McCollough out online and on social media at @moni_shywriter and also today's special guests Jessica, @jayrease, and Christina, whose organization @alteenhealth, does lots of positive work in the community with a mission connected to helping resolve some of the issues reflected in the novel.

Today’s show gives a quick update on what we’ve been up to in recent months and what to watch if the writer’s strike lasts a while.
Our takes today...
Life “be lifin’” in your 30s & 40s; be an advocate for your health; Mel is trying to live a Janelle Monáe life; we support the writers and suggestions to watch in the in-between time — “Warrior,” “Queen Charlotte,” “Attack on Titan,” and “Industry,” are just a few of our favorites. We talk a little on Jonathan Majors (pre Megan Good news).
