Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Book 101 Review, now in its sixth season, features John Carlos Frey six-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and fearless truth-seeker—as my distinguished guest. Known for his courageous frontline reporting and powerful storytelling, Frey joins the conversation to discuss journalism, justice, and the human stories that demand to be told.

Q: Walk us through the framing. Who is the enemy and who are the casualties?

Frey explains that after 9-11 the border became militarized with weapons, surveillance, and a large enforcement apparatus. He emphasizes that the 'enemy' often labeled by policymakers are economic migrants or refugees, while the real casualties are migrants who suffer detentions, disappearances, and deaths, and the communities left behind.

In its sixth season, Book 101 Review welcomes Henry Sullivan III—visionary storyteller, science fiction and historical fiction author, seasoned podcaster, and audiobook producer—for a thought-provoking conversation.

Q: How does your writing process intentionally differ when writing fiction versus non-fiction?

Fiction is enjoyable, while non-fiction writing somehow feels frustrating.

Q: If you could go back and give your briefers books of one piece of process advice, what would it be?

You need to contextualize what's actually going on in the scene. It takes the longest to establish context.

Q: What part of your writing process do you consider your secret weapon?

Listening to well-done audiobooks keeps me going because it reminds me of what I'm aspiring toward.

Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, proudly spotlights award-winning and bestselling author Aaron Ryan as the Featured Author of the Month for March.
