Episode description

“What if we could do anything? Should we do it? What are the consequences?”

Ramona Ausubel’s new novel The Last Animal asks big questions about motherhood, grief and our responsibility to the planet. And there’s a woolly mammoth. Ausubel joins us to talk about the realities of working in male dominated fields, the differences in writing novels and short stories, the power of storytelling and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Jamie.  

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
