  • The Rob Burgess Show

    Thorough, detailed, but unhurried interviews...it's a pleasure to listen to a host who isn't rushing to responses, but rather allowing the interviews to elicit unexpected gems, though clever but objective questioning.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 301 - Carol Snow
Q: What is your usual bread and butter?
Snow explains she began with romantic comedies with a mystery element, moved into young adult fiction due to market demand, and eventually found her stride in psychological thrillers that emphasize character dynamics and tension.
Ep. 299 - Julie Cruse
Q: Why does higher education remain so resistant to accountability for abuse?
She explains that an entrenched, hierarchical system creates dependency and loyalty that protects perpetrators, making it hard for victims to come forward without risking their careers and livelihoods, and that mandatory reporting often fails to result in real consequences.
Ep. 299 - Julie Cruse
Q: What are some of the ethical lines being trampled upon that people need to understand?
Cruse highlights that protected classes—women, people of color, differently abled, and lower-class individuals—are frequently targeted and that departments often tolerate or cover up misconduct due to political risk, creating a dangerous environment for victims.
Ep. 293 - Tom Lutz
Q: What comes to you first as a writer that makes you think this could be an entire novel?
Lutz shares that his first novel stemmed from a character he knew, while his second novel evolved from wanting to write about a variety of characters interacting together.
Ep. 293 - Tom Lutz
Q: How do you write dialogue and make it sound believable?
Lutz describes himself as a good mimic and states that he takes extensive notes on people's speech patterns to accurately capture dialogue in his writing.
