Hey, this is Sam.

If you enjoy our interviews with writers and artists on Talk Easy, then I'd recommend checking

out the podcast Missing Pages. Hosted by acclaimed literary critic and author Beth Ann Patrick,

Missing Pages investigates the biggest hot button topics in the book world today

with the help of special guests like New York Times Best-Selling author Jody Pekle

and publisher weeklies Jim Miliet.

Produced by the people at the Podglamaret,

Missing Pages explores everything from the insta frame of Colleen Hoover

to the rise of book bands across America to the lucrative culture of non-fiction ghost writing.

As both the Washington Post and the Guardian praise,

missing pages is a must listen.

So if you'd like to check it out, you can follow missing pages on

Apple Podcast or wherever you like to listen. Oh, Hello everyone.

more than four to five hours of sleep per night. Someone may be able to do it but I

certainly I've never been able to. I'm recording this in

between seeing a movie and procrastinating on writing about another one.

But this is a shorter special episode of the podcast. We recorded it here in Park City early
