Summary
In this special weekend re-release, Zibby records an Instagram Live with Cheryl Strayed, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wild (which was made into an Oscar-nominated film), Tiny Beautiful Things (which is now a Hulu TV show), and This Telling (the Amazon Original Story they talk about in this episode!). This Telling is part of an incisive collection of funny, enraging, and hopeful stories of women’s empowerment and escape.
Zibby: "I was over the moon to be interviewing her. I have been a fan for so long. You can probably tell in my fandom, adulation, and all the rest when I talk to her. I hope I did an okay job. I was stuttering."
