My Podcast Interview with Blue Planet Stories
Egor, Alex, and I discuss “My Dad, Dementia, and the Things We Don’t Forget.”
When you share a story with the world on Medium or Substack, you never know who will read it.
With my story “My Dad, Dementia, and the Things We Don’t Forget,” I got lucky, because Alexandra Essenburg from the Blue Planet Stories podcast read it. Then she and her partner Egor Korneev invited me onto their podcast to talk about it — and of course, I said yes.
It was my first podcast experience as a writer.
Egor and Alex made it such an incredible experience.
They interviewed me from their sailboat, where they’re making their way toward Panama, and I responded from my cozy little home on a damp evening in Seattle. It felt more like a conversation than an interview, and I hope that comes through in the podcast.
But the very best part starts at 16 minutes in.
Alex reads my story.
Have you ever had the experience of hearing a gifted orator read a story you wrote? This was a first for me. I found myself rapt by my own words.
It was truly a beautiful experience.
I’m so grateful to both Egor and Alex for inviting me to their podcast — and especially for that reading. I loved it.
