Salt Lake Dirt - Episode 322- Shannon Waite and The Women

Salt Lake Dirt, hosted by Kyler Bingham, is a literary and film zine, podcast and radio show. Salt Lake Dirt airs on KPCR 92.9FM every Monday at 6:00pm PST in Los Gatos, CA, and interviews some really incredible authors (a few that I love). In this episode, Kyler asks me some questions about my recent short story collection Then Women.

As summarized by Kyler, "This week on Salt Lake Dirt, I'm thrilled to welcome back author Shannon Waite to discuss her new short story collection, The Women. Following her interactive novel Raising Women, Shannon presents a captivating companion piece featuring 39 stories that delve into the lives of the characters we met before. Shannon shares her creative process, detailing how the collection serves as an "expansion pack" that enhances the original narrative. Each story offers a unique perspective, allowing readers to explore the complexities of identity and the challenges faced by women at different stages of life. The interconnectedness of the characters creates a subtle narrative thread that binds the collection together, reflecting themes of agency, societal expectations, and intergenerational trauma. Join us for an insightful conversation that not only celebrates the art of storytelling but also sheds light on the nuanced experiences of women navigating their paths in life. Don't miss this episode!"
