Miscellaneous
Episode 35 of Season 2 has two fun jams, starting with our Political Talk segment!In today's Political Talk, we discuss gun control--which as Susan says, means hitting what you aim at. Of course, to other people, it means something very different. Kelly and Susan discuss their own experience with guns and the great importance of proper training, so you know what you're doing when you have one in your hand!In our second jam, we discuss the extraordinary legacy of Susan's all-time favorite thriller writer, former champion jockey Dick Francis, who hung up his racing boots and started a career of writing thrillers that turned him into a legend. Hear what you can learn from a great writer--Susan's many reads of Dick Francis novels have taught her about architecture, art forgery, photography, wine appreciation, the breeding and selling of thoroughbred racehorses, how to transmit a virus (!) successfully, and many other subjects. It's also taught her about plotting complex stories and writing as simply as possible, two lessons she's carried into her own writing career. Dick Francis is a storyteller second to none: we hope you'll look for his books and lose yourself in at least one of them! (All are still available on Amazon, but do avoid the ones written after 2012, as those were written not by him but by his son Felix, a good writer but nothing like his father!)Today's episode of TALK JAM is sponsored by the audiobook of Kelly Fitzgerald Fowler's brilliant Biblical thriller, OVER MY DEAD BODY, read by New York Times best-selling author James L.
