Summary

Margaret Malone is the guest. Her debut story collection, People Like You, is available now from Atelier 26 Books. Really enjoyed meeting Margaret. She showed up at my door and I almost felt like I knew her already. There was something familiar about her. We have a friend in common. Maybe that was it. She used to live in LA. Maybe that was it. We're roughly the same age. Maybe that was it. Or maybe it was a combination of all of these things. Anyway, she seemed familiar and it was easy talking with her. We've been through some similar stuff as parents, too. Trying to have kids. How harrowing that can be. And then she and I talked about some difficult health issues that her husband faced, and what that was like. We talked about Portland, too. She lives in Oregon now, and is involved in the literary community, and so on. We talked about other stuff, too. Margaret is a gem. In today's monologue I talk about the Powerball lottery and the death of David Bowie. And social media grief. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
