Description

I don't know about you, but I just can not get enough of Zibby Owens. She’s been a guest on the show and I’ve read her work before for On My Nightstand. This incredible, powerful memoir is just one more reason for me to love her work.
Zibby Owens is an essayist, memoirist, award-winning podcaster, book publisher, entrepreneur, and CEO. Owens founded Zibby Media, a privately held media company, in 2018, and the company has since grown to include the publishing house Zibby Books, the magazine Zibby Mag, and the podcast network Zibby Audio, which produces her award-winning podcast “Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books." Owen’s daily podcast has become an essential destination for writers (she has interviewed more than 1200 authors on the show) and it recently surpassed 9 million downloads. Her advocacy on behalf of writers and their work has earned her the moniker “New York’s Most Powerful Book-influencer” by New York Magazine. Owens is a regular contributor to ABC-TV’s "Good Morning America" and other broadcast outlets, where she shares her mission-driven enthusiasm for books. She is the author of the memoir Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature, the children’s book, Princess Charming, and the editor of two anthologies on motherhood. Owens is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business School. She lives in New York with her husband and four children.

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
