Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 295 - Bowling For Soup (ft. Jaret Reddick)
Q: What can fans expect to hear in the set, especially for those who haven't tuned in recently?
They'll hear a mix of classic hits, a handful of deep cuts not performed often, some new material from an upcoming album, and a mid-show inclusion of the Phineas and Ferb song to keep younger fans happy, along with interactive crowd moments that emphasize the band's live dynamic.
Episode 295 - Bowling For Soup (ft. Jaret Reddick)
Q: Talk to me about the decision to sort of do this birthday show bigger than a regular touring date.
The band has a long history with these birthday celebrations, growing from smaller events to a bigger, more communal experience that honors the hometown energy while incorporating a full band lineup and special guests, making it feel like a festival-like weekend rather than just a show.
Episode 292 - A Secret Escape (ft. Alyson Gerber)
Q: How do you approach the balance between plot and emotional development when writing Book 3?
I structure the plot first to establish the outward action and puzzles, then layer in the emotional arc to ensure the characters' growth keeps pace with the stakes, revisiting earlier puzzles to maintain coherence across the series.
Episode 289 - Rodeo Hawkins (ft. John Claude Bemis)
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring authors, especially young readers who want to write.
For kids, treat writing like play, keep it fun, and allow yourself to jump between ideas, returning to the main story when you can. Practice regularly and avoid pressuring yourself to publish immediately; the goal is continuous improvement and enjoyment of the process.
Episode 272 - Xavier's Voice (ft. Ashley Franklin & Tatiana Gardel)
Q: What message do you hope people will take away from the book?
Ashley and Tatiana hope readers find that their voices matter, and that being authentic will help connect them with others.
