After I turned in the final manuscript to the publisher, I did what I probably should have expected myself to do. I reread the whole thing and realized I wasn't done talking.

There were things the page couldn't hold. Context that shaped the chapters. Moments that didn't make it into the final draft. The stuff I'd tell you if we were sitting across from each other right now, coffee in hand, nowhere to be.

So I sat down and hit record. Chapter by chapter. Twenty-two episodes. The stories behind the stories, and what I was actually thinking when I wrote them.

Read the chapter first. Then press play. Each episode picks up where the page left off.
