The Outrider Podcast Episode 168: The Carrier Bag

Welcome back to the Outrider Podcast. 

After a long hiatus, I’m back with a new full-time co-host, Jenn Zuko. Jenn was the very first guest on The Outrider Podcast way back in 2013. Since then she’s been on several special episodes as well as our seven part series on Bad Ass Female Tropes and our seven parter on Toxic Masculinity Tropes. We’ll be releasing one regular episode a month where we discuss what we’re working on, what we’re reading, what has made us happy, and finally a craft or business topic that might, sometimes, include a special guest. 

 

For episode one, it’s just the two of us. Once we get past the writing, reading, and happiness, we’ll be discussing Ursula K. LeGuin’s Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. There’s a link below to her essay as well as most of the things we reference in the show.
