Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

079. Andrew Ryan
Q: So what made you want to be a comedian?
Ryan reflects on his difficult upbringing and the drive to find a creative outlet; comedy became a way to process family history and personal struggles, gradually evolving into a career that balances honesty about his life with entertaining storytelling.
093. Tony Carson
Q: Did your dad actually write jokes or did he just tell them from a joke book and rely on delivery?
Tony explains that his father did write and curate material, maintaining a large joke book and a photographic memory, but emphasizes that the real magic was in the way he delivered the lines and how he could adapt to any audience.
092. Steve Cavanagh
Q: What makes your characters resonate with readers?
I focus on writing characters readers care about; if you emotionally invest in them, even the most convoluted plots become compelling.
092. Steve Cavanagh
Q: Do you prefer plotting in advance or discovering the story as you write?
I often discover the story as I write, letting twists emerge naturally rather than following a fixed outline.
092. Steve Cavanagh
Q: How did your background in law influence your approach to writing crime fiction?
Law taught me the value of storytelling under pressure, the need to read people and motives, and how to present a narrative that feels fair and convincing to a reader and a jury.
